Player Biography
Rollie Fingers’ 17-year career traced the development of the modern-day relief ace. An inconsistent starter, Fingers moved into the bullpen, where he excelled quickly and frequently in an unspecialized role. “I was pitching four or five innings sometimes,” Fingers said. “There was no such thing as a setup man. I was my own.” Relying on a sharp slider, Fingers became the first pitcher to top 300 saves, totaling 341. Known for his handlebar mustache, Fingers became a regular during the postseason, appearing in 16 World Series games. The seven-time All-Star also won both the American League Most Valuable Player and Cy Young awards in 1981.
