RP: Rollie Fingers
A's: 1972-74



The original modern-day fireman, Fingers was a Hall of Fame reliever who was even better in the World Series. He's second all-time with six saves in the Fall Classic, earning two each in Oakland's three-year run as champs from 1972-74. Fingers also picked up a couple of wins and finished his World Series career with a miniscule 1.35 ERA in 33 1/3 innings. Not simply a situational specialist, Fingers averaged over two innings per appearance in his 16 World Series games.
