Although not in the HOF. Elroy Face is considered to be The Godfather of the modern closer. I picked up this stub earlier this evening. Its Face’s 18th victory of his record setting 1959 season. It was also his 22nd consecutive win which is the second longest winning streak in MLB history behind Hubble’s 24. That season his 18-1 record set the still-standing major league record for winning percentage (.947). His 18 wins that year also set the single-season wins in relief record.
