First ballot Hall of Famer, just like his batterymate Piazza will be.

Champion of one of the most worthless baseball statistics. But he's still obviously a very good pitcher. Congrats from Xeifrank. vr, Xei

Meh...who cares about saves?

I'm more interested in celebrating MLB's sacrifice fly king. Anyone know who that would be?

The sacrifice fly king is Hall of Famer Eddie Murray.

He had 128.

Cal Ripken finished his career with 127.

Murray's last sac fly was August 6, 1997 for the Angels against Milwaukee. Bob Wickman was the pitcher and it scored Jack Howell.

1 If Hoffman gets in, Lee Smith should get in. The BBWAA is composed of idiots otherwise.
