Former Florida Marlins pitcher Trevor Hoffman was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame on Sunday in Cooperstown, New York. Chipper Jones, Vladimir Guerrero and Jim Thome also entered with him.
He became the fifth baseball hall of famer from the Marlins franchise. Hoffman joined Andre Dawson, Mike Piazza, Pudge Rodriguez and Tim Raines.
Hoffman was selected in the expansion draft from the Cincinnati Reds in December 1992. He played just a couple of months with Marlins in 1993. He was part of a five-player trade with the San Diego Padres on June 24, 1993 as Florida acquired Gary Sheffield.
He played the next 15 years with the Padres and helped them to a National League title in 1998. Hoffman participated with the Milwaukee Brewers in his final two seasons and finished second all-time in Major League Baseball history with 601 career saves.
