100 Saves Quiz

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

I cheated on that 70s guy. He's not unguessable. That's my clue

[Gwreck]

But none of them when it Really mattered .... or so I heard somewheres

 

From whom? This chart was regular season only, but 3 saves in 7 postseason chances sort of speaks for itself.

I have a feeling that That Seventies Guy was better known as a Phillie, but no actual name is coming to me.

One of the missing ones isn't Jack Akers?

Other than Tugger, can’t think of former/future Met relievers from that era in Phillie history

[stevejrogers]

Billy Taylor?

[MFS62]

I think you nailed it.

We're waiting for a ruling.

Great quiz

[The Hot Corner]

Jack Aker had a pretty solid career as a reliever. He pitched for the Mets toward the end of his career, so I'll take a shot with "Uncle Jack".
