What with the handlebar mustache, pitcher Rollie Fingers was a looked like a bit of a baseball throwback. Used almost exclusively as a reliever through his 17-year MLB career, Fingers retired following the 1985 season with 341 saves. The high-point was likely the 1981 season when he was named both the AL MVP and AL Cy Young Award winner. He yielded only nine earned runs over 47 appearances covering 78 innings.
He was enshrined in the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1992. You’re able to see his induction speech below.
Also found below is the end of his battle with Cincinnati Red Johnny Bench from Game 3 during the 1972 World Series.
