Here's the first paragraph of Fred "Firpo" Marberry's SABR bio:
"Fred Marberry, one of the best pitchers in baseball for a decade, was the first great hurler to be used primarily as a relief pitcher. He played a large role in Washington�s only World Series triumph, and set many records for relievers that would not be bested for many years. Almost forgotten today, he has been denied larger fame by splitting his career between starting and relieving �had he done one or the other, he might be in baseball�s Hall of Fame today."

In 1924, Marberry's second year in MLB, he led the Majors with 15 saves. He led the Majors in saves again in 1925 and 1926 with 16 and 22, respectively.
