Billy Wagner is trying to go out on top with the Atlanta Braves
38-year old closer Billy Wagner maintains that he is going to retire after this season. He has pitched in 55 games (0 starts) for the Braves this year and he is 7-2 with 30 saves, a 1.68 ERA and a 0.88 WHIP. Wagner has only given up 32 hits in 53 2/3 innings this season while whiffing 77 batters showing that he is still very much on his game. Wagner is #5 all-time saves in major league history with 415 of them. He is 9 saves behind John Franco who has the most saves in history as a lefty. Wagner would like to ride out into the sunset along with Bobby Cox after winning the World Series. Only time will tell if that happens or not.
