The "You Don't Know Jack!" Year In Review: Top Fives, Top Tens, Top Elevens

The Red Sox Life Hall of Fame Ballot, Part I
Disclaimers:1. This is really the Jim Corrigan Hall of Fame Ballot, but that's not a dramatic headline. And no, I don't get a vote in real life.2. The actual ballot is (I think) more complicated, with first, second, and third place votes.

Hoffman among former Brewers at Game 3
If it seemed that Trevor Hoffman doled out a hug on Tuesday for every one of his 601 career saves, it's because he is one of the most popular teammates in Brewers history. Never mind he only spent two seasons wearing the uniform.

EndScore Report: Mariano Rivera sets MLB Saves record
In this edition of EndScore Report, we speak about New York Yankees closer, Mariano Rivera and his setting the all-time MLB saves record. Trevor Hoffman is mentioned and wondered about if he were on the Yankees. How about the era versus era debate? Would Bruce Sutter or Rollie Fingers fare better?

Mo’s Number Two
In every mention of Mariano Rivera breaking the all time saves record, it seems to be a contractual requirement to also point out that he is ‘The Greatest Reliever of All Time’. Leaving aside the difficulty of comparing a modern, one inning, reliever to their more heavily used forbearers, there is clearly little dispute that Rivera is the best reliever we’ve seen...

Wezen-Ball: Through the Years: Mariano Rivera by Larry Granillo
It's been a big week for Yankees closer Mariano Rivera. On Monday, Rivera pitched a three-out, three-batter ninth-inning at Yankee Stadium to earn his 602nd career save. It was a record-breaking save, putting Rivera and his cutter one notch above Trevor Hoffman and his change-up for the most saves all-time (Hoffman set the record last year with his 601st, and final, save).

Mo focused on playoffs, not milestone
The president of Panama called, and Trevor Hoffman sent a congratulatory text message Monday as part of Mariano Rivera's victory lap after the veteran Yankee became the all-time saves leader. But, the closer says, no Mo talk about 602. Rivera is already eager to put the milestone behind him to concentrate on the final nine games of the regular season.

After tying Trevor Hoffman at 601 in Toronto on Saturday, Mo converted on his very next opportunity – an afternoon makeup game in the Bronx. With the Yankees’ schedule, there was little question that...
