Wonderful for the fans that it happened at the last home game of the season. Wish I could have been there.
Hoffman makes history as Friars sweep
Closer converts save No. 479 to capture all-time record
By Amanda Branam / MLB.com
SAN DIEGO -- The final regular-season game of 2006 at PETCO Park is in the books. Closer Trevor Hoffman put it in the record books.
Hoffman calmly set down the Pirates in order in the bottom of the ninth on Sunday, converting the 479th save of his illustrious career, making him the all-time leader in Major League history.
He froze Ryan Doumit on strike three, struck out Jose Batista swinging and pinch-hitter Freddy Sanchez grounded out to give Hoffman the historic mark. He was quickly mobbed by teammates at the mound.

Congratulations Hoff!
