ESPN.com - MLB - Recap - Astros at Padres - One of the truly class acts in baseball is Trevor Hoffman. Last night he got his 425th career save to move into second place on the all-time saves list. Trevor made it to my list of favorite ballplayers back in April of 2004. If he was a Yankee he'd be a first ballot Hall of Famer. He should be anyway!
Trevor Hoffman will make the Hall of Fame. He has been too good for too long not to.
As an aside, my uncle is good friends with Bruce Sutter, the old relief pitcher for the Cubs, then the Cardinals, then the Braves. He ended with 300 career saves and a 2.84 ERA. In 1979 he won the CY Young with 37 saves and a 1.35 ERA.
I think if his career started in the 1990's he would have many more saves.
By the way, as a Phillies fan I would like to extend a "thank you" to the Padres for beating the Astros!!!
