    I Googled. No self-control.

    It would have taken me awhile to guess the fifth guy, but I assume I would have gotten there eventually.

    Ding ding!

    Also, one of my favorite "fun facts": When Baylor retired without a championship, the very next game was the start of the Lakers' 33-game win streak and eventual title run.

    Three players in Major League Baseball history have 300 saves and 100 wins.

    Name them.

    Smoltz, Eckersley, and unsure of the 3rd one. I'll go with John Wetteland, although I'm not sure he got to either mark.

    Eckersley yes.

    Smoltz no - he was only a closer for three seasons. Everyone guesses himm, though.

    Not Wetteland.
