    Trevor Hoffman?

    he blew my parlay, the save and took the loss at PNC Park, 2006
    he comes in, gives up 3 hits, 2 runs and the AL won 3-2

    had Kent Tekulve been available, my money would have been safe

    concerning todays wager; every football game that I have ever watched, that at halftime looked like it might go over
    goes under every freaking time

    especially in the playoffs

    damn, the man raised a great thread and took a shot for doing so,
    gave a winner
    and no one bought him a beer

    that`s bullshit

    I would buy the first round, but since they are free
    too late

    I think it's Hoffman as well. I mean he closed long enough to reach 600+ saves and nobody threw a better changeup.

    Lee Smith was pretty good and I haven't seen him mentioned yet, but for real CY Young threw 749 complete games! Why isn't this talked about when people ask what record will never be broken again?

    You mean officially? Okay, but if you want to protect a 1 run lead for an infinite amount of time, who would you choose?
    That's also called shutting them down or slammimg the door completely shut.

    mariano is the entire top 5, no one even comes close or will ever come close

    then in the 6th spot I love me some rollie fingers ... why? because in over 60% of his saves he threw more than 1 inning, and yeah I respect that

    There are a lot of great Mariano Rivera statistics, but here's a favorite: in 141 innings in the postseason -- the equivalent of two regular seasons -- he allowed a total of two homers.

    If Billy Wagner returned to baseball and tossed 186.1 innings with a 5.55 ERA and ZERO strikeouts, he’d have the same ERA in the same amount of IP with more strikeouts than Trevor Hoffman, who was recently inducted to the Hall of Fame.
