Best ACE and CLOSER combinations in baseball history

[Ed MOTHEREFFING G]

Lets cut off at 1980 here folks

Felix is 11-2 with a 2.02 ERA and a .899 WHIP. Fernando Rodney [aka, the most nervous looking baseball player of all time] already has 27 saves.

NOW, this isn't an ALL TIME COMBINATION but it made me think of some.

Who do you think are some of the best #1 starter / closer combos in the past 30-35 years?

 

[Alexander The Great]

Without looking up Any numbers, 1st thing comes to mind is Dave Stewart and Dennis Eckersley

 

[TrillaMonsoon]

As a homer and no stats to back it up

Johan Santana/Joe Nathan from 04-06 was

 

[Illeye buckmatic]

That Clemens/Rivera combo

Jack Morris/Mike Henneman
David Wells/Mike Henneman
Jose Lima/Matt Anderson
Jeff Weaver/Todd Jones
Mike Maroth/Ugueth Urbina
Verlander/Valverde

probaly Verlander and Valverde, he was really good his first two years in Detroit. Both were All Stars in 2010, 2011

You could probably add Morris/Hernandez to this. That whole '84 squad was just...

I was trying to keep it within the last 25 years with the terrible collection of starters/closers they've had.
