Pointers from the Pros - Trevor Hoffman 

Best closer in the past 25 years not named Mariano Rivera.

I was 10 when he gave me a free cap that he placed on my head. Great man!

Tony Gwynn faced Maddux 107 times in his career. He batted .415 and had zero strikeouts against him.

@@drawkiain Gwynn was different class, almost an impossible out at times and likely one of the best hitters never to get a WS, despite playing in a great team his best years came when a NYY team who kept buying up the best rotation despite already having some of the decades best on staff and had top notch hitting from 95 to 2005. Even the Braves couldnt get it done more than once despite having arguably the best ever starting rota. An era where records were broken which brought huge attention to Baseball in the late 90s made the game the top news story again after the strike along with Bulls dominance in basketball and Cowboys in football had put baseball in the shadows.
