Gotta do a fact check on the Elroy Face interview and follow up comments by Block and Wehner (and Blass). Face was not the first "closer." He was never used in the way that closers are used. I think Face may have meant "relief specialist." But his 1960-61 teammate Clem Labine wa...

Whew!

Surprised the call at 1B was overturned. Couldn't see irrefutable evidence.
