Interesting Stat.
Listening to my local talk radio the other day. Last year something like 95.6% of teams leading going into the 9th ended up winning. Not entirely surprising. Some stat guy compared this to the 1950 season and found that 95 % or so of the teams leading going into the 9th ended up winning. Mariano Rivera has a save percentage of something like 95.6%. He compared this to Casey Stengals teams and found the percentage to be almost identical.
Makes you wonder if the closer role is over rated.
