The next name to pop up on the randomizer is Trevor Hoffman. I knew of his brother Glenn who played for the Red Sox before I'd heard of Trevor but Trevor went on to have the longer career becoming one of the elite closers of his day. The seven-time All-star led the NL in Saves twice and was the first pitcher to tally 500 and then 600 career saves. I didn't expect him to make the Hall of Fame because I didn't think relievers were full-time players so I didn't start my collection of him until he was actually elected. Now I have 393 unique Beckett recognized cards of him in my collection. Here are nine of them.
