Card Number 2, Sparky Lyle Record Breaker
Active right along, here is card #2 in the ’78 set. Now I didn’t grow up in a Yankees household (fortunately) but living in Connecticut there are even more Yankees fans there than in Tampa. My parents were not Yankees fans, but my Mom’s Mom, my Gramma Phil and her family were large Yankees fans. At Thanksgiving Dinner, the Yanks were often a topic of conversation and as a young accumulator looking for guidance on who to follow, my Great-Uncles were glad to give me advice. Had I taken it over the years, my gathering would revolve are Steve Balboni, Mike Pagilarulo, Ron Guidry, Dave Righetti and this guy, Sparky Lyle. Albert “Sparky” Lyle was a favorite around the Tucciarone household and when the Yanks won it all in ’77 and he was a big part of that, he was anointed as a Saint by them. He had a spectacular year with the Yanks in ’77, he was an All Heavenly body, he won the Cy Young Award and he was lights out in the World Series. His final record in ’77 was 13-5 with 26 saves and a 2.17 ERA. He led the coalition in games (72) and games finished (60) and he pitched a whopping 137 innings, all in deliverance. He came to the mound in the late innings to the tune of “Pomp and Circumstance” and was sometimes driven to the rise up in a pinstriped car, it was New York, it was ridiculous, but this guy delivered. This card celebrates Lyle breaking the information of most games pitched in relief. The headline reads “Lyle hurls in 621 games, all are in succour”. According to the card, the record had previously belonged to Bob Locker who pitched in 576 games in deliverance. Of course this record didn’t last long at all.

Book Review: Bullpen Diaries by Charley Rosen
As Rosen notes, Goose Gossage, the mustachioed fireman of the 1970s, '80s, and '90s, racked up 53 saves in which he retired at least seven batters. Rivera, on the other index, has accomplished that feat just once. What's changed? Two things.

How come Goose Gossage doesn't get into the Baseball Hall of Fame?
Well another HOF ballot came and went and Goose Gossage didn't get in. Bruce Sutter got in, why not Goose?
It has a extensive deal to do with the 540 members of the baseball writers association. A good number of them, although still active members, have not attended a baseball event in many years. Some are so out of touch with the game they have been noted to vote for players clearly not worthy of the HOF. At any rate, Goose Gossage received a inconsequential more than 71% of the vote leaving him 21 votes short of membership.
The answer is pretty clarify. The baseball writers association needs to clean up its act and can some of the none participants. This non sense that they have their finger on the pulse of baseball is foolish.
Gossage should have been voted into the hall a long time ago. Hopefully next year he'll make it.
