Interesting quiz. tho, I answered "Watt" for 1970 Orioles and "Richert" came up...Baseball Reference lists Richert as their closer, but Watt had almost as many saves (12 vs 13) and finished more games (35 vs 25). fwiw.

I got 'em all! The two Pirates closers were the last ones I thought of.

Interesting that only two players appear on this list more than once. I guess it goes to show the sometimes poor job security of even the elite closers, that even in winning back-to-back titles, the Reds, Yankees, and Blue Jays all had different closers in each of those two seasons.
