The Thursday Thinker: Plesac-Plus Closers
On Saturday, Brewer all-time saves leader Dan Plesac turned 50 years old. Plesac accumulated 133 saves over seven seasons as a Brewer en route to 158 for his career. That's tied for the 66th most all time. How many of the 65 pitchers ahead of him can you name in ten minutes?
The rules remain the same: Post your score in the comments but do not comment on any specific answer until after 6 pm Central time, so everyone gets a chance to try it out without having it spoiled for them. And, of course, there's no reason to cheat here, because there aren't any prizes.
I will be absolutely stunned if anyone can get all of these without cheating. If you do, be sure to post your time along with your score in the comments.
Have fun, and don't forget to post your score in the comments!

"That's not a weird stat. Rickie is a run-scorer," Yost said. "It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter," Yost told reporters. "See, you guys have no concept. He's a run-scorer. So there's nothing weird about it. That's what he does."
