Trevor Hoffman elected to Hall of Fame

Today is the day we've waited for since Trevor Hoffman announced his retirement five six seven years ago. Today, the greatest closer in National League history was elected to the Hall of Fame in Cooperstown. There was some question as to whether Trevor would make it on the first second third ballot, with some suggesting he shouldn't going in before fellow great Mariano Rivera, and others wondering if he (and closers in general) really belonged in the Hall at all.

Of course, the position here at Gaslamp Ball has always been that Trevor is obviously Hall of Fame material.
