Billy Wagner

William Edward (Billy) Wagner (born July 25, 1971 in Tannersville, Virginia) is an American Major League Baseball closer for the Philadelphia Phillies (2004-present). Previously, Wagner played with the Houston Astros (1995-2003). He bats and throws left-handed.

Fact

Pitching the final inning of a combined no-hitter against the Yankees, Wagner struck out Jorge Posada and Bubba Trammell, then got Hideki Matsui to ground out to first base where Wagner, who was covering, pumped his fist as the final piece of instant baseball history was engraved at Yankee Stadium (June 11, 2003).
