Trevor Hoffman saves 479th game!!!

[hockeytown]

What a great feat to become the all time saves leader by passing another great closer in Lee Smith. Although I have not gotten to see Hoffman save many games as he plays on the west coast but I do see many of the highlites. Congrats goes out to Trevor on becoming the all time leader. Also just one of those useless trivia things but his older brother Glenn Hoffman also played baseball mostly with the Red Sox before retiring in the late 1980's.

Congrats to him. The Padres couldn't have even made the playoffs without him.

Yup, big ups to Hoff. One of the great "firemen" in MLB history!

never really a Hoffman fan, only like Hells Bells

my question is what do they do with the exhibit of Lee Smith do they just add the Hoffman stuff to that

Well they should put Smith in the Hall of Fame and then start a new exhibit with Hoffy stuff!!!
