A year earlier, playing for Toronto, Rzepczynski was nicknamed “Scrabble” by his teammates—technically not the most apt moniker, given that there’s only one Z in a Scrabble set. However, the pitcher credited with the win and the pitcher credited with the save in the game in question have last names that—unlike RZEPCZYNSKI—are acceptable words in Scrabble.

Who was he?
