Q-&-A with Rollie Fingers: Hall of Famer pitcher compares game, players today to 40 years ago

Hall of Fame pitcher Rollie Fingers played for the Oakland Athletics, Milwaukee Brewers and San Diego Padres over a 17-year career. Fingers was a two-time World Series champion, a World Series MVP, an American League MVP, an American League Cy Young Award winner, a seven-time all-star and a four-time Rolaids Relief Pitcher of the Year. He set the record for career saves — until broken by Jeff Reardon in 1992 — with 341. Known for his standout performances as a relief pitcher, Fingers is equally famous for the waxed handlebar mustache he’s sported since 1972.
