Rolaids
For over 30 years The Rolaids Relief Man Award® has honored the men with the mental toughness to come into pressure packed situations and pull out a win. The award was first presented in 1976 and is a distinction given to the top relief pitcher in both the American and National leagues at the end of each season. The first closers were nicknamed "firemen," for their ability to come into a game and "put out the fire" of the opposing team's rally. As a tribute the trophy is a silver-plated firefighter's helmet. The award is sponsored by ROLAIDS, whose slogan "R-O-L-A-I-D-S spells relief" has been heard in stadiums and living rooms since Hammerin Hank signed his first big league contract.
In over three decades of existence it has earned a place among the CY Young Award® and MVP, as one of the most respected accolades in baseball. It appears regularly in biographies, career highlights and sports journalism.
