Gregg Olson


On this date in 1989, Gregg Olson of the Orioles becomes the first relief pitcher to win the AL Rookie of the Year Award.

"In my first real save, I had the middle of the lineup with a on-run lead, and it was Mark McGwire, Dave Parker and Dave Henderson. And I struck all three of them out, and I said, 'All right, this stuff works.'"
