MILWAUKEE -- After narrowly missing the cut last year, Trevor Hoffman is getting another crack at Cooperstown.
Hoffman, who spent most of his career as a shutdown closer for the Padres before capping his career with two seasons in Milwaukee and making the National League All-Star team in 2009, was the most notable player with Brewers ties on the National Baseball Hall of Fame ballot unveiled Monday. The list also includes returning candidate Gary Sheffield and first-timer Carlos Lee.
Results will be announced Jan. 24 on MLB Network.
This will be Hoffman's third year on the ballot.
