Bill Singer locked up baseball's first save in 1969 but didn't realize he'd made history until years later

Bill Singer was the most unlikely of pitchers to earn baseball's first save in 1969. He was a starter who would win 20 games that season, and he went on to another 20-win season and a no-hitter. Yet Singer, pitching three scoreless innings in relief of Don Drysdale on opening day that season, notched baseball's first save (a stat adopted that year). Singer didn't realize he'd made history until years later. My story for ESPN.com: http://espn.go.com/blog/playbook/fandom/post/_/id/20460/before-riveras-600-singer-forgot-first-save
