Baseball’s Savior

First off, nothing against Sutter being in the Hall of Fame. He pioneered a pitch and he was the first true one inning closer. However, how he gets in over the best reliever ever, Goose Gossage, is beyond me.

Gossage had better seasons, more seasons where he was effective and he pitched more innings. A ton more innings. To sum that sentence up, Goose Gossage is better then Bruce Sutter.

And I’m not the only one. Check out these other opinions.

There’s probably a ton more but after you read through a few, they get repititve. Fortunately, Gossage made some gains so I like his chances in 2008.
