San Francisco Giants:How important is the closer?
The names are just as easy to remember as the memories that they saved for all San Francisco Giants fans. They were brought in to preserve a lead, and send everyone in orange and black home happy. But has the closer’s role lost its value? Or has the team just gotten lucky?
The final out in a close baseball game will always bring “edge of your seat” excitement to all fans. There have been some great Giants hurlers over the years who have brought joy (and some pain) to San Francisco. But the last three championships have featured a different closer each time. Will another Giants closer ever challenge Robb Nen‘s franchise record of 206 saves?
