Franco first cracked a Major League roster in 1984 with the Cincinnati Reds, where he played for six seasons and was an All-Star for three of them. Franco led the National League in Games Finished twice and in Saves once as a Red, and the closer established himself as an elite closer during that time.
In 1995, Franco was traded to the New York Mets, and while he was only an All-Star there once, he was a two-time leader in Saves and was the Mets closer for nearly a decade.
As of this writing, Franco is in the top five in Saves, Games Pitched, and Games Finished.
