One of the most dominant left-handed closers ever--can you name one better? Nicknamed "Country Time" by the vast nation of Mets bloggers. Billy's final season in the big leagues may well have been his best, but he had already determined that it would be his last, and—true to his word—he retired. He's pictured here on an autographed 1997 Topps Gallery card; there are more cards shown below.
