      You left some players out of the most saves with one team:

      Trevor Hoffman - 552 saves (Padres)
      Dennis Eckersley - 320 saves (Athletics)
      Billy Wagner - 225 saves (Astros)

      To name a few.

        That was most saves, ALL with one team. Meaning the pitcher did not have any saves with another franchise.
        Your Second Base Coach
        Garvey, Lopes, Russell, and Cey started 833 times and the Dodgers went 498-335, for a .598 winning percentage. That’s equal to a team going 97-65 over a season. On those occasions when at least one of them missed his start, the Dodgers were 306-267-1, which is a .534 clip. That works out to a team going 87-75. So having all four of them added 10 wins to the Dodgers per year.

          While Rivera is unquestionably the best closer ever, for teams using the modern deployment of relievers, he didn't throw the 130 innings a year of the Gossages, Wilhelms or Fingers. He also didn't pile up the innings of a starter, in any era. Comparing Rivera to a 1966 Koufax is silly. Koufax put up video game numbers and threw 323 innings.

          So sure, give Rivera his due, but let's keep a perspective on some of these rate stats.
