I had to include this guy on the all-time list of best relief seasons!
And it was just two years after joining the Toronto Blue Jays, Tom Henke was at the peak of his career in 1987. Being such a big Toronto fan, no way I'm leaving him off my ever-growing list! Only one problem: Tom is dead last in wins compared to the others!
