Can you go wrong with any four?
A lot of Sox fans remember Tom Gordon as an excellent, dominant pitcher, particularly for his stellar performance as the team's closer in 1998 and 1999. While his tenure in Boston was relatively short (1996–1999), his peak performance during those years cemented a positive legacy among fans.
Gordon played for the Kansas City Royals (1988–1995), Boston Red Sox (1996–1999), Chicago Cubs (2001–02), Houston Astros (2002), Chicago White Sox (2003), New York Yankees (2004–05), Philadelphia Phillies (2006–2008), and Arizona Diamondbacks (2009).
The Sox converted Gordon from a starting pitcher to a closer,and his career reignited. In 1998, Gordon set the club's single-season record for saves with 43 of them in a row, and was named to his first All Star Team. His success continued in 1999 setting a major league record with his 54th consecutive save in June, but an ongoing elbow injury limited him to just 21 appearances, which required Tommy John Surgery. that forced him to spend all of 2000 on the disabled list.
On August 9, 2010, Gordon said that “he still thinks he has what it takes to compete, but that he's fine with retirement.”He retired as the only pitcher in MLB history to have over 100 wins, over 100 saves, and over 100 holds.
