Former Braves Tom Glavine to sign copies of “Inside Pitch” in June

"He's my personal favorite baseball player," said Robinson, who grew up in Atlanta. "When they were just bottom-of-your-shoe bad, I was there. In the tough times and the good times…I'm fit to be tied over here."

There are ground rules.

To be admitted, customers must buy a copy of the book from Eagle Eye Book Shop, along with a $10 donation to CURE Childhood Cancer. They will then be given a numbered signing line ticket.

On the day of the event, customers will be given a wrist band. One other person may be admitted for an additional $10 donation to CURE.

There are no posed pictures. He will also not sign other memorabilia.

When Robinson got wind that that Glavine had a book coming out, he said he kept contacting the publisher. "Finally, I guess I annoyed them so much, they said 'OK, we're going to make this happen'."

Even before his Decatur appearance, Glavine will also be at the Barnes & Noble Edgewood bookstore, 1217 Caroline St. at 7 p.m. June 1. The store will issue wristbands to customers on a first-come, first-served basis for this event beginning at 9 a.m.
