Saves : 1900 National League Top 25

Finding the American or National League leader in virtually every hitting & pitching statistic is easy-to-do. Finding the top 25 players during any given season is far more challenging. Baseball Almanac has taken away that difficult problem and is pleased to present the data you requested:

1900 Saves Leaders

Top 25 in the National League

Frank Kitson 4 Brooklyn Superbas 1
Bill Bernhard 2 Philadelphia Phillies 2
Rome Chambers 1 Boston Beaneaters 3
Jack Chesbro 1 Pittsburgh Pirates  
Nig Cuppy 1 Boston Beaneaters  
Al Orth 1 Philadelphia Phillies  
Ed Scott 1 Cincinnati Reds  
Jack Taylor 1 Chicago Orphans  



Jim Thome wore number twenty-five since he first came up with the Cleveland Indians making him the franchise record holder for that particular number (Mike Garcia is second).

The most recognizable Detroit Tiger to wear the number twenty-five was probably Norm Cash (who wore it from 1960 through 1974), but did you know that Hall of Famer Larry Doby also wore it during his single season with Detroit?

Jose Cruz of the Houston Astros had his number twenty-five retired on October 3, 1992, and became the first Major League player with that particular retired number.
