The Braves will induct Glavine into the team's Hall of Fame and retire his No. 47 on Aug. 6.
Maddux had his No. 31 retired last year. The other Braves players to have their numbers retired are Aaron (No. 44), Spahn (21), Eddie Mathews (41), Dale Murphy (3) and Phil Niekro (35).
The honor "puts me in pretty darn good company," Glavine said.
The two-time NL Cy Young Award winner ranks 21st all-time with 305 wins, including 244 with the Braves. He also pitched for the New York Mets.
