Rollie Fingers. Acquired along with Pete Vuckovich and Ted Simmons in December 1980, Fingers earned two of his seven career All-Star selections during his tenure in Milwaukee. Enjoyed one of the best single seasons in franchise history in 1981 when he was awarded the American League Most Valuable Player, Cy Young and Relief Man Honors after posting 28 saves with a career-best 1.04 ERA in 47 appearances. Compiled 97 saves and 2.40 ERA in 177 appearances as a Brewer. Led the Major Leagues in saves in 1981 and finished in the top ten in each of his remaining three seasons in Milwaukee. Had his #34 jersey number retired by the Brewers in 1992, the same year he was inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame.
