SAN DIEGO -- Petco Park's famed Tony Gwynn statue has some company -- courtesy of Gwynn's former teammate with the Padres, and now in Cooperstown, too.
The Padres immortalized legendary right-hander Trevor Hoffman on Saturday, unveiling a roughly 9-foot, half-ton likeness of the Hall of Fame closer before their game against the D-backs.
The statue sits just beyond the left-center-field bullpens and depicts Hoffman with his signature high leg kick. In a creative twist, Hoffman faces toward Gwynn in right-center field. More than 50 yards separate the two.
