Rafael Betancourt saved a grand total of 17 games with the Indians, but he was just as, or even more, valuable than the closers who came into games after him.

Before Game 4 of the 1948 World Series, manager Lou Boudreau made a hunch move. With the Indians up 2-1, he could have brought back Bob Feller on three days' rest to face , but instead went with Steve Gromek, the club's swingman.
