April 13, 200521 yr This one is readily online, but very fascinating. Who is the only pitcher in history to be credited with a win and a save in the same game due to a loophole in the already existing save rules, promting the MLB commish office to modify them?

April 13, 200521 yr Google's a beautiful thing huh ? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Yes, it is. http://www.answerbag.com/c_view.php/1438#q_7630 9. Can a relief pitcher get both a win and a save in one game? No - the official rules of baseball define, in section 10.20, the three conditions for a pitcher getting a save. #2 of these is "He is not the winning pitcher." Before this was the case, it did happen in Japan. Naoki Takahashi of Nippon Ham was pitching against the Kintetsu Buffaloes on July 12, 1974. He had a 2-0 count to Clarence Jones with two out in the sixth and a man on first. Nippon Ham's manager came out and did a double switch, sending Takahashi to third and bringing in a lefty named Nakahara to finish the at bat with Jones. Nakahara got Jones to end the inning. When the seventh convened, Takahashi took the mound again and finished the game, which Nippon Ham won 2-1, fulfilling the criteria for a save.

I never liked that show-off. He may be a great baseball player, but all he does in public is act like he owns the place.
