Repack Haiku #152 (J.J. Putz)

Long forgotten fact:
Won Rolaids Relief Award
As a Mariner

2013 Topps Opening Day #158 J.J. Putz

It's true! In 2007, his 6 wins and 40 saves were enough to be crowned as the American League's best closer!

    I nearly forgot about the Rolaids relief man award; thought that had died out in the '90s. On that note, if Putz had been Seattle's closer back then I bet they would have reached at least one WS.

      The last Rolaids Relief Award was given out in 2012!
