Rollie Fingers

Bat-and-Ball Sports

Rollie Fingers is an American former right-handed relief pitcher who played in Major League Baseball for three teams between 1968 and 1985 and helped redefine the value of relievers and usher in the modern closer role. A seven-time All-Star, he led the major leagues in saves three times. He first gained prominence with the Oakland Athletics championship teams of the early 1970s, when his handlebar mustache made him the most identifiable member of the Mustache Gang, and he was named Most Valuable Player of the 1974 World Series. In 1981 he won both the American League Most Valuable Player Award and the Cy Young Award with the Milwaukee Brewers.
