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.
