Former Red Sox,Indians,Cub,Tiger and Expo 1962-69.Of all the darned ways to go, he fell down the stairs at his house Wednesday and died of head injuries. He helped pave the way for the closer role, specificly with his work for Boston 1962-66 (49-32 2.66 104 saves and 646 strikeouts in 576 IP there).  He struck out Mickey Mantle 44 of 63 times they faced off. At least he lived to finally see The Evil Empire fall once and the Red Sox crowned champions.
