    This Hall of Fame pitcher led the league in saves five times and in shutouts three times. In fact, he once led the league in both categories in the same year.

    Who's asking? Jerome Holtzman?

    JK. No, it was not an official stat at that time, but it's listed on B-R.com, so that's all that matters :D

    Yep, nailed it.

    BTW, he wasn't the only Hall of Famer who once led the league in saves and shutouts in the same season. Cy Young also did it.
