Instead, he became one of baseball’s most valuable closers and a key component of a World Series champion. Giusti led all major league pitchers in saves (127) from 1970-75, when he earned an All-Star appearance and finished in the top 10 of National League Cy Young Award voting three times. Giusti died Sunday at age 86." [/QUOTE]
