Hoffman honored to have number retired

JustinVerlander35 · Jun 16, 2011

Trevor Hoffman, the Major League career saves leader who spent almost 16 full seasons pitching for the Padres, admitted to being mildly surprised at how well he kept his emotions in check during his January retirement announcement at PETCO Park.

"When you walk down memory lane, I have a tendency to get a little emotional. I think I did fine with the announcement of retirement," Hoffman said recently. "But I'm sure the next time, there will be more family members there ... video and things that will be said."

Chances are Hoffman won't be quite so successful in holding back his feelings on Aug. 21 when the Padres honor Hoffman in a special postgame ceremony during which the organization will retire his uniform No. 51.
