Listen "John McGraw, Camlio Doval, and John Hiller"
Episode Synopsis
A text with a friend who is a fan of the San Francisco Giants inspired this podcast that talks about John McGraw's style of baseball, which has gone the way of the maskless football helmet, the demotion to Triple A of the National League's 2023 save leader, 27-year-old Camlio Doval, and a comparison of Doval's 2023 season to the 1973 season of reliever John Hiller, the life-long Detroit Tiger, whose life was nearly drastically shortened by a heart attack in 1971.
He was 27 years old at the time.
This podcast delves deeply into numbers, splits, and some sabrmetrics -- to illustrate the difference between what it took to earn a save in the two eras (pun) which are 50 years apart.
