My Take
What I admire most about Tug McGraw is the quiet craft of the relief pitcher. Nineteen big-league seasons with the Mets and Phillies is not luck; it is durability and nerve, the willingness to walk into the highest-pressure moments and shut the door. He came up through a community college and somehow lasted nearly two decades at the top, which tells me everything about his competitiveness. Closers rarely get the romance that starters do, but I think theirs is the harder temperament. McGraw left us far too early in 2004, yet that bullpen toughness still feels like the heart of the game to me.
