List of Major League Baseball career games finished leaders
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In baseball statistics, a relief pitcher is credited with a game finished (denoted by GF) if he is the last pitcher to pitch for his team in a game. A starting pitcher is not credited with a GF for pitching a complete game.
