In front of over 53,000 fans on Sunday, including yours truly, Trevor Hoffman became the third member of the San Diego Padres to be inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame.He may have been the fourth speaker of the day, but his should have been saved for last, it was simply the best.
There was a tribute video to Trevor narrated by legendary Padres and current Giants manager Bruce Bochy. Commissioner Manfred then read his plaque which will hang in the Hall of Fame for all time.
The first line of Trevor’s plaque states, “Master of a mystifying change-up…” and everyone who faced Hoffman in Major League Baseball would probably agree.
