My intention with the old version was to show how Fingers' actually entered the position of closer at a time where very few teams carried regular closers. It was his success that actually spawned the "greater opportunities for closers" now referred to. I propose changing that part to

Is the paragraph starting with "Fingers is regarded as a pioneer..." really appropriate here? Except for a few Fingers factoids it seems much more suited to a more general article on relief pitchers. That last sentence about Bruce Sutter has almost no direct relevance.
I won't change it since re-working something that large (and well thought out - just out of place here) is sure to ruffle some feathers, so I'll leave it up to the pros. - 68.93.74.198 ( talk · contribs) -- 18:45, 17 June 2006.
