Tony Gwynn Drive now intersected by Trevor Hoffman Way

SAN DIEGO -- The street corner outside Petco Park's main entrance is now the intersection of Tony Gwynn Drive and Trevor Hoffman Way.

Hoffman, the former closer who was inducted into the Hall of Fame on July 29, helped unveil a street sign bearing his name on Friday afternoon, along with Mayor Kevin Faulconer and executive chairman Ron Fowler

"It's the coolest intersection in San Diego, there's no doubt about it," Faulconer said.

It was the latest honor for Hoffman, who amassed 552 of his NL-record 601 saves with the Padres.

"To have the opportunity to once again be in connection with the great Tony Gwynn, to be at the corner of Petco Park, the front of it, on a chamber of commerce day, I don't think I can elaborate much more on the fact that I'm honored to be again a part of Tony's legacy and commitment that it was to the San Diego Padres," Hoffman said.
