First thing to keep in mind is that the statistic was formally introduced to Major League Baseball in 1969, so you're talking about 26 years that it's been tracked out of more than 100 years of MLB history. Lee Smith is the MLB career saves leader, having accumulated 478 saves over an 18-year career, during which time he played for 8 different teams. Trevor Hoffman of the San Diego Padres leads all active players with 453 career saves. For the current season, Jason Isringhausen of the St. Louis Cardinals leads the National League with 24 saves, and Jonathan Papelbon lead of the Boston Red Sox leads the American League with 23.
