Wagnerian Performance

Billy Wagner's high wire act-style save last night was the 350th of his career.

1. Lee Smith 401
2. Mariano Rivera 379
3. Trevor Hoffman 352

note: though Wagner just turned 36, he is still in his "Age 35 season", which is counted as the season in which a player is 35 on July 1 -- so Wagner should, barring injury, move past Hoffman on the above list with additional saves through the rest of 2007.
