it is also the term used for the closer of the team and "Big Lee" Smith once one of the best around and is currently third on the all time saves list only lead by Mariano Rivera and Trevor Hoffman. He is also in his 13th year on the HOF ballot and deserves to be in the Hall as he was the dominant closer in his era.
