479

You have to admire someone who is older than you are, and can still go out and beat guys half his age in baseball.
Trevor Hoffman earned his record breaking 479th save this evening to become Baseball's Save Leader. Wow. Anyone who can go out and do something 479 times (when people are actively trying to keep you from accomplishing your goal) deserves some recognition. Argue as you'd like that baseball players make too much. When a 39 year old guy sets a record like this, that is darned impressive. Add to that that he's a personable guy, a leader, a family guy, and community guy. He's actually a good role model.... Truly a rarity in this day and age.
Congratulations Trevor!
