(b. August 25, 1946 - )

The earliest reliever to be used in a "closer" role,
Rollie Fingers was the first pitcher to reach 300
saves. He was the fireman for the champion Athletics
in the early 1970s, then led the NL in saves with
San Diego. In 1981 with the Brewers, he won the MVP
and Cy Young awards. Fingers retired in 1985 with
341 career saves. |

Comments: A 1977 O-Pee-Chee
PSA 8 was my first portrait card of Rollie Fingers. I won the card
on eBay in March, 2002. I replaced it with a 1977 Topps PSA 9 in
May, 2003. I already had a 1977 Topps Reggie Jackson card so I decided
to replace the Fingers card with this 1977 Padres Schedule PSA 10
in May, 2006. |
