Thanks to the realization her father's running a spiritual retreat in California, I can now only think of Ani as Don Draper's long, lost daughter.

That's because the Save wasn't a recognized statistic by MLB until 1969. But, by definition, Seaver and Koos both collected saves in the '67 and '68 All Star Games, respectively. (Hence, the Baseball Reference box scores that I linked showing the saves.)

That should be worth an asterisk, at least.

And Jerry Koosman recorded a save in 1968.

Your fact about El Sid being the only Met to record a save in the All-Star Game is inaccurate.

Then it's on MLB for not making the info about the donations absolutely clear. Some of us caught it, but it reeks of a standard MLB marketing ploy.

And allowing teams to change the logos to a red, white, and blue pattern instead of red hats would have at least not made any player without red in their uniform look silly.

Nope. Jack McDowell also accomplished the feat in 1995 with the Yankees.
