As George mentioned in the above post, Allan (you will also see his first name spelled "Alan" and "Allen") Russell led MLB in saves for 1923. His total was 9 saves! I assume some of today's closers have recorded 9 saves in one month. Oh, BTW, Russell also led MLB in saves for 1919 with 5! Russell's total saves for his entire career is 42. I find it strange that Willard's Chocolate would picture Russell in a batting pose - his career batting average is .157!
