He pitch in a lot of games and he was actually a closer for a while.
So if you can name a pitche the was closer for a few season is ok.
But dont select somebody the has always being a closer of half or his career he was a closer.

There are a couple of relievers that have had long careers without primarily being a closer and not being a starter.
Jesse Orosco, Mike Stanton, Paul Quantril all are these types of players.
I guess it depends on what your definition of 'great' is.

My guess is that you are thinking of Hall of Famer Hoyt Wilhelm. He was a knuckleballer that pitched in relief almost his entire career. He holds the MLB record for wins out of the bullpen. Saves wasn't really a category they kept good stats on when he was pitching, so I've seen him credited with anywhere between 30 and 230 saves.

Scott Sullivan was a relief pitcher for the Cincinnati Red's. He was a sidearm pitcher, and like most sidearm pitchers, developed back problems and had many trips to the disabled list towards the end of his career.
