Here's my new way of determining a hof player. Do I want his rookie card?

Nope.

I'll start:

1. He has more wins than Koufax.
2. He has more strikeouts than Koufax.

I still don't get Hoffman over a guy who was consistently one of the best pitchers in the game, namely Mussina.

[Peter_Spaeth]

Hoffman may be the best pitcher in the HOF with a .449 winning percentage.

I always liked Hoffman's minor league card showing him as a scrawny kid hoping to one day be a major league SS.

Baseball is a defensive game. It's the ONLY game where the defense controls the ball. Can't be a Hall of Famer when you don't play defense in a defensive game. In my opinion.

Big Congrats to the players that made it in the MLB HOF! They all deserved it! They will be joining Jack Morris and Alan Trammell thanks to the Modern era committee back in December. Edgar will be getting in next year, as it will be his last attempt to do so I think.

Chipper Jones 97.2%
Vladimir Guerrero 92.2%
Jim Thome 89.8%
Trevor Hoffman 79.9%

Minor league cards (which most are low pop) , are great to collect to! Penny stocks now which may become blue chips tomorrow!!

There is an even earlier Trevor Hoffman card, he is found in the 1988 University of Arizona baseball team set made by the Tucson police.
