Keep The Faith Hoffman Fans

My heart is so breaking right now... My absolutely all time favorite baseball player, SD Padres Relief Pitcher Trevor Hoffman is being let go. WHY? He has done nothing but boost SD Padres baseball since his arrival in 1993. He keeps the fans enthused with his AMAZING pitching, his community relations, his 500 career saves (ALL TIME SAVES LEADER), and his overall 1st class professionalism and personality.

I have had the opportunity to meet him on more than one occasion, and he is awesome! Always ready to sign for fans, always a smile and a friendly word and in my opinion, everything that a PROFESSIONAL athlete should be!

So why is it after 16 (yes, 16!) years, why is he all of a sudden suposed to take a huge cut in pay and then have the offer withdrawn from the team he's done so much with & for? I am absolutely appalled and dishearteneed today.

San Diego Fans need to rally around their beloved closer and make the SD organization see that Hoffman is SO much more than another baseball player, he is a HUGE part of San Diego! I'm sorry, but I will never, ever not be a Trevor Hoffman fan, even if SD loses him. I adore him, and will completely follow his career. I can only hope that if we do lose him, that when the day comes that he is elected to Cooperstown, that he can look past this last segment of time and go in as a Padre! xoxoxo
