My Trevor Hoffman Tribute Video
I've been sitting on this for a while, clinging to the faint hope that something would get worked out and Trevor would be back. Obviously, that is not going to happen. I made this back when I posted my over-wrought "Goodbye Trevor" FanPost. Of course, this had to happen. Nothing lasts forever. I can't argue with anyone that cites his declining skills and stats. But I will miss the man. He was the last link to Tony, the last link to 1998. It would have been nice to say goodbye. That's what gets me the most, I would like to have said goodbye. I would like to have known that the last time I heard Hell's Bells would be the last time I heard Hell's Bells. But I'm not going to take shots at anyone this time. Not Alderson, not the Trevor-haters. That's all done. This is about paying tribute to a singular athlete and a special human being. I'm glad someone wanted him and I'm glad Trevor cleaned up in his last major league contract. I hope GLB will be well respresented at Petco on Friday, July 31st when the Brewers come into town.
The pictures are mainly from various sources on the internet, with a few of my own sprinkled in. There are also a couple from another Gaslamp Baller whose name I don't remember (sorry!). Music by R.E.M.
Enjoy.

Good Job, Thanx
That just made me think:
Last year, every time the ninth inning came around, my 6 year old son would say “Does that mean its Trevor Time?”. Most of the time it wasn’t, so I’d have to try to explain to him why it wasn’t a save situation.
Somehow, I imagine it will be harder to explain to him now why its not Trevor Time next time we watch a game together.
Adios Cambio. You will be missed.
Thanks
for ripping out the rest of my heart. There was a little bit left but you got it all now. Thanks, pal :)
I'll never forget the good times
Thanks for everything, Trevor.
Isn't it enough to know that I ruined a pony making a gift for you? ◔ヮ◔

With a name like Smuckers, it has to be good!

Very nice
Good luck in Milwaukee Trevor!
I'm not in denial, I'm just selective about the reality I choose to accept.
I'm glad the soundtrack wasn't "Good Riddance" by Greenday
It’s been done a time or two before.

It was predictable and in the end it isn’t right. Also, I seriously doubt he’ll have the time of his life.
