Righetti Right On The Money In 1986

Dave Righetti was a pretty good starter in his early years in the bigs. In parts of four seasons, he was 33-23, starting 76 of 82 games. His ERA was just 3.29. For good measure, he added a no-hitter on July 4th, 1983.



But when he became a closer in 1984 with the Yankees, Dave found his home. That year, he went 5-6 with 31 saves and an ERA of 2.34.



The next season was even better: 12-7, 29 saves and an ERA of 2.78.

And then there was Dave's 1986 season...
