The inductee class of 2014, for the National Baseball Hall of Fame has been confirmed, according to the Bleacher Report. Greg Maddux (Atlanta Braves), Tom Glavine (Atlanta Braves), and Frank Thomas (Chicago White Sox) will join managers Joe Torre, Tony La Russa and Bobby Cox, who were elected to the Hall of Fame in December.

Here is the inductee breakdown:

• Greg Maddux, former pitcher of the Atlanta Braves
• Longtime pitcher of 23 years
• Despite only winning one World Series, Maddux received the first-ballot nod for the Hall of Fame, and is considered to be the driving force behind the Braves' dominance during the 90's.
• Winner of 355 games and a career ERA of 3.16
• 8× All-Star (1988, 1992, 1994, 1995, 1996, 1997, 1998, 2000)
• 4× Silver Slugger Award winner (1991, 1993, 1994, 2000)
• World Series champion (1995)
• 18× Gold Glove Award (1990–2002, 2004–2008)

• Tom Glavine, former pitcher of the Atlanta Braves
• Although Glavine was often overshadowed by Maddux, the thought was that Tom Glavine stood a great chance of entering the Hall of Fame on the first ballot as well. 
• Lefty  player, 22-year career with 305 wins.
• 10× All-Star (1991, 1992, 1993, 1996, 1997, 1998, 2000, 2002, 2004, 2006)
• World Series champion (1995)
• 4× Silver Slugger Award (1991, 1995, 1996, 1998)

• Frank Thomas, former designated hitter and first baseman of the Chicago White Sox
• Thomas is the the first of his kind in the Hall of Fame. He began his career purely as a first baseman, but he played as a designated hitter for much of the latter part. 
• Maintained a career batting average of .301, clubbed 521 home runs and drove in over 1,700 runs as well. 
• 5× All-Star (1993, 1994, 1995, 1996, 1997)
