That mark lasted until 1970 when Wayne Granger had 35. Clay Carroll raised that to 37 in 1972, and (probably) one of your favourites, John Hiller, one-upped Carroll, taking it to 38 in 1973. I personally don't find saves to be the complete measure of a quality relief pitcher, but that's the progression through history of the single season saves mark. Firpo Marberry had 22 saves a-way back in 1926. It's up to you really, but I wouldn't wait too much longer. How many saves are the leaders getting in your league circa 1966?

I think I will turn it on now, so I will have it for the first time in 1966. Probably should have had it on last year. Eric Gagne had a 30+ save season, over 100 innings pitched and an out of this world whiff rate.
