No, A-Tisket, A-Tasket, But Just Jimmy Baskette! Part 2

Jim Baskette's (Big Jim, as he was referred to) other stats may not look like the belong on my list, but as one of the early relief artists, he stretches it back to 1912. Hey, he's not quite a legend in Cleveland the way Feller, Lemon and now King James is, but he was coming out of the bullpen at a time when I'm sure the word "closer" was pretty foreign to most baseball players!
