That was my first thought too, but then I looked it up. Comparing to the guys Logan mentioned (and adding 3 other HOF'ers)

Smith 4x in 18 seasons
Rivera 3x in 19
Hoffman 2x in 18
Eck 2x in 12 (as reliever)
Fingers 3x in 17
Gossage 3x in 21 (as reliever)
Sutter 5x in 12
Wilhelm 0x in 19

In that regard, his ratio of leading the league is on par or better than all but one
