Former White Sox closer Bobby Thigpen sent a note to Angels' reliever Francisco Rodriguez on Sunday to congratulate him for breaking his saves record, according to Associated Press.

"Only a handful of major league relievers understand what it takes to reach the 50-save mark," Thigpen wrote. "Your record-setting season is an accomplishment you should treasure this year for and for years into the future. I am certain your record for saves will stand for many, many seasons to come."

Rodriguez earned his 58th save when he finished out Los Angeles' 5-2 win over Seattle on Saturday night, besting Thigpen's mark of 57 posted in 1990.
