Francisco Rodriguez chases 57 Tonight Francisco “K-Rod” Rodriguez saved his 51st game of the season in pursuit of the MLB record 57 games saved held by Bobby Thigpen for the 1990 Chicago White Sox. With over a month left in the season, here’s saying he breaks it. Having said that, there are several by-products that will invariably result from such an accomplishment and I wanted to look over those here now.

Chasing History: Francisco Rodriguez

Francisco Rodriguez is on the verge of breaking Bobby Thigpen's 1990 single-season record of 57 saves and with a little over a month left in the 2008 season I can't imagine he wont significantly break it.

But, as Mr. Mosvick discussed on Tuesday , Rodriguez has not been the ...
K-Rod: 50 saves; Magic Number: 16

Francisco Rodriguez got his 50th save yesterday, becoming only the ninth player ever to do so. And it’s still August. Frankie is on pace for 62 saves, which would be more than enough to break Bobby Thigpen’s record of 57. Remember when the Angels and Mariners were supposed to battle for first place? Well, K-Rod has more saves than the Mariners have wins (48). As best as I ...

Ya deben estar enterados de que Francisco Rodríguez alcanzó anoche su salvamento #50 de la temporada, convirtiéndose así en el primer criollo en lograrlo, y en apenas el 2do Latino detrás del extraordinario Mariano Rivera . A su equipo le quedan 33 encuentros en el 2008, por lo que tendrá más que suficientes oportunidades para retar el récord de Bobby Thigpen . Acionalmente, Rodríguez es el ...
