Man, I sure would like to see Jim stick around for another 4-5
years and claim the #1 spot on the home run list. Nothing would
make me happier to have anyone other than Barry Bonds with this
record. It would be the best thing to happen to Baseball in a
long time by getting rid of his tainted record. Also, I know it
would piss Bonds off to know end which will make me berry berry
happy. ;D

[CENTER]Trevor Hoffman Day (Retiring #51)
[/CENTER]
The Padres season as a whole has been a disaster and sucked big
time this year, but today the organization did themselves proud
in the way they retired Trevor Hoffman's number (#51). It was
awesome from start to finish. About an hour overall. The best
part of course was when they brought out former Padre players.
Some were expected and some were totally surprising to see:
Chris Young and Steve Finley.
But when they trotted out the other 4 Padre players (Tony Gwynn,
Dave Winfield, Randy Jones and Steve Garvey in their respective
Jersey's) who's numbers were already retired, from center field
as they walked toward Trevor, it was hair-raising goodness.
Another what the f*uck moment was when they showed former
players, coaches and the commisioner on the Jumbo Tron
congratulating Trevor on this special day, the best was getting
a shout out from Brian Johnson of AC/DC. Waaaaaaaaay cool. Even
Trevor was completely shocked at this, as everyone else was in
Petco Park.
The organization then gave Trevor a Mint condition 1953 Cadillac
convertible. That was dope. But the best part of the entire
ceremony was when they played a video of his Father, Ed, singing
the National Anthem at a Red Sox/White Sox game on opening day
back in 1981 up on the Jumbo Tron. Chills.

Basically that's what I came on this topic for, I ran into Deck
there and like a bunch of people anyhow, back to the subject of
which I went.....
For the National Anthem.. they used a recording of Trevor's dad
singing the national anthem back in 1995... I literally think
every man in that stadium cried just a little.... it was so
touching...!
Did anyone else go today??

Hey, I'll be the first to admit that I got choked up watching
it. It was awesome. And the look on the Brother Hoffman's said
it all. Wow.

I watched it both times. Taped it the second time they played
it. It was too good not to save this one.

Yep. They showed a wide shot with everyone watching the Jumbo
Tron, and then they kept cutting from the video itself, back to
Trevor and family, back to video, etc....
