"It's not good or bad, but closers have changed thing. I don't think you are going to win a World Series without one. Where would the Yankees be without Mariano Rivera? Pitching two innings and coming back the next day, that's the stuff we did all season. Saves are not easy, but I think they are easier now. I warmed up in the seventh and maybe pitched. Then in the eighth and maybe pitched. Lee Smith, Goose Gossage and I got a lot of seven-out saves." - Bruce Sutter in USA Today (Mel Antonen, 01/05/2005)
