Why this card is awesome: Because he got his first major league save nearly 3 years before his first major league win! Even for guys who pitch exclusively in relief, that's got to be pretty rare.
Cool stat: Lazorko is one of just 28 pitchers since 1901 to pitch at least 60 innings in his first 3 seasons, getting at least 1 save and no wins.

His first four seasons were with four different teams--I wonder how many have done that?
If it wasn't for an old "This Week in Baseball" highlight montage of former hockey player Lazorko's "glove saves" on the mound, I'd have no idea who he is.
