Oakland A's closers quiz: Can you name the team's saves leader for each year?

On Monday, the Oakland A's traded away their closer, Tyler Clippard. He led the team with 17 saves. The only other pitchers with even one save are Drew Pomeranz and Jesse Chavez, and they're both in the starting rotation right now. It is almost certain that no other A's reliever will match Clippard's 17 saves before the end of the season. That means that we can already safely crown him the A's 2015 saves leader.

The question is, who else has led the A's in saves since they became an official MLB statistic in 1969? I have constructed a quiz on the website Sporcle to test your knowledge.
