Glavine right at home with Mets

NEW YORK - Tom Glavine says New York&#39;s reaction to his presence is a lot different than it used to be. <br> <br> Instead of being the enemy, Glavine is being counted on by New York fans to reverse two years of disappointment against the Atlanta Braves. <br> <br> A group waited in the cold outside Shea Stadium to greet Glavine and his family as they arrived for a news conference about his three-year, $35 million contract with the Mets. <br> <br> Glavine then put on a Mets jersey, with his usual Number 47, and the transformation was complete: His 16-year run in Atlanta is over. <br> <br> Glavine said it probably will be strange until he starts pitching for the Mets. The 36-year-old left-hander never really thought he would leave Atlanta, where he won two Cy Young Awards, posted five 20-win seasons and helped lead the Braves to 11 straight division titles.
