	Save (sport) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A save in hockey is the successful blocking of a shot on goal by a goaltender.
		Similarly, a save in soccer is the successful blocking of a shot by a goalkeeper.

		A save is a baseball statistic used to indicate the successful maintenance of a lead by a relief pitcher, usually the closer, until the end of the game.
		The save is defined in Section 10.20 of Major League Baseball Official Rules.
		A blown save is charged to a pitcher who enters a game in a situation which permits him to earn a save (a 'save situation'), but who instead allows the tying run (and perhaps the go-ahead run) to score.

	CNNSI.com - SI Online - SI Flashback: How to save baseball - Friday August 09, 2002 11:22 PM
		Baseball's own Blue Ribbon Panel Report of 2000 even recommended the concept of franchise relocation to "a very large market already occupied by one or more high-revenue clubs." Such relocation, the committee wrote, helps competitive balance because the relocated club generates more revenues and the existing club or clubs benefit from enhanced rivalries.
		Baseball may be headed for its own Gansett moment, the day when all its fans are dead -- or, demographically speaking, might as well be.
		"Baseball continues to live in the past, both with its operating methods and its efforts at marketing nostalgia." If baseball wants to get with the times and reinvigorate its image, it has to quit telling us how great the game was and give younger fans a reason to love it now.

	Fantasy Baseball: 040315 Karabell Save Chances
		It is possible that Gagne will lead the league in saves and save chances this season, but it's actually no more or less likely that Joe Borowski or Bob Wickman or Francisco Cordero might.
		One reason why the Yankees did not create a ton of save chances for Rivera when they were winning those championships recently is likely as simple as this: When the Yanks won, they generally would do so by more than three runs.
		But take them because they are the best, not because you think the Yankees will have save chances in 80 of their 100 wins and the Brewers will have chances in 40 of their 70 wins.

		The first baseball strike in Japanese history has gripped the nation and rekindled interest in what was once its favorite sport, but experts say time is running out for the players and the ball clubs to tackle the problems facing the game.
		Hit by an exodus of top players to the United States and the popularity of soccer, Japanese baseball is suffering from falling attendance and TV ratings, resulting in losses for most teams.
		For owners -- big corporations such as troubled retailer Daiei Inc, for which baseball is usually a sideline -- the main attraction has long been the publicity and marketing benefits that come with a team.

		Bresnahan's baseball legacy, God bless him, is that he was maybe the second white catcher to wear shin guards.

		I hate it when a guy gets a save when he entered in the ninth with no outs and no one on and gives up a run or two.

		Baseball's biggest problem is not just money sharing, if richer teams gave money to smaller market teams, the owners will just pocket it and not spend it.
		The confidence that we have always had as a people in the sport of baseball is not simply some romantic dream or a proverb in a dusty book that we read just on the Fourth of July (or at the All-Star game).
		Our people are losing that faith, not only in baseball itself but in the ability for major league owners to put a team on the field as good as the 1927 Yankees.

		The KC teams I used to root against have now turned into farm systems for an elite segment of baseball, the 7-10 teams that are considered the large market teams willing to ante up the inflated salaries to acquire the best talent in the game.
		They trade one of the brightest young pitchers in baseball to the Yankees, a team that tweaks its roster every year at the deadline.
		It might not be pretty, and in fact it will be very ugly, but the only way for baseball to succeed is for a drastic overhaul of the playing field, not a piecemeal, patchwork approach to maintain the current system.

		He will always be remembered fondly in his hometown as the man who returned baseball to Milwaukee, after a five-year hiatus (1965-1969) when the Braves left for Atlanta.

	A Bluegrass Blog: Did steroids save baseball? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		The strike that cancelled the end of the 1994 season and World Series and delayed the start of the 1995 season nearly destroyed the game: in 1993, average attendance per game played was 30,964; in the strike-shortened 1994 season, attendance increased to 31,256; by 1995, attendance dropped to 25,022.
		Canseco asserts he witnessed McGwire shooting up, McGwire clearly used androstenedione (not a banned substance at the time, of course), and Sosa, while not directly implicated by Canseco, is clearly on the known suspects list.
		Previous research has concluded that the 1994/95 Major League Baseball strike caused short-term losses in fan interest but did not result in any long-term effects on attendance.
