Arizona Baseball to retire Trevor Hoffman’s jersey on Opening Day

The start to the 2019 baseball season is nearly here, and as opening day is soon to take place, Arizona Baseball will be honoring a legend of their own, in Trevor Hoffman.

People say Arizona is a basketball school, honestly I’m more convinced diamonds thrive in the desert… that’s baseball and softball diamonds I mean.

While I’m not knocking the illustrious history of Arizona Basketball, let’s not forget that in baseball, the Wildcats have four World Series titles, two hall of fame coaches and a storied program that dates back to the 1970s.

Beyond that, we’ve had numerous, talented pros, a World Series winning coach in Terry Francona and now a Major League Hall of Famer.
