Catch 'em while you can
Thousands of baseball fans make the trek to the National Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, N.Y., each year to celebrate the game's history and look back fondly on the careers of its greatest stars.

KILL - Cooperstown Bound? - Lee Smith
Lee Smith entered the league during a time when the closer's role was transitioning from what it once was - often times, a multi-inning affair - to what it is today - one and done in the ninth.
