R.I.P. Jerome Holtzman

Jerome Holtzman, baseball historian and one of the best sports writers in Chicago history passed away Saturday at the age of 81.

Holtzman will likely be remembered for two things: inventing the save and finding Hack Wilson's missing RBI from 1956.

I personally know little of Mr. Holtzman, other than what I've read up about him in the past and those two fact nuggets I mentioned above. However, I do know that a baseball mind like his will truly be missed.
