City Renames Street Outside Petco Park in Honor of Trevor Hoffman

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Monday, Sept. 24, 2018 CONTACT: Perette Godwin at 619-533-4511 or [email protected] City of San Diego Renames Street Outside Petco Park in Honor of Trevor Hoffman TREVOR HOFFMAN WAY WILL SHARE STREET CORNER WITH TONY GWYNN DRIVE SAN DIEGO – The San Diego City Council today approved the renaming of a street outside Petco Park in honor of San Diego Padres legend and Hall of Fame closer Trevor Hoffman. The stretch of Park Boulevard between Imperial Avenue and Tony Gwynn Drive will be officially changed to Trevor Hoffman Way on Friday, Sept. 28, before the final home stand of the 2018 Padres season. “As one of the best closers in baseball history and a legendary member of the Padres, we couldn’t be more thrilled to honor Trevor Hoffman for his contributions to the game, his entry into the Baseball Hall of Fame, and the joy he has given so many San Diego fans,” said Mayor Kevin L. Faulconer. “It’s especially fitting that his street will connect with Tony Gwynn Drive so the longtime teammates will share an intersection outside of Petco Park.” Following his 19-year career in Major League Baseball, Hoffman was inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown on July 29. He set a National League record with 601 saves – including 552 during his 16 years as a member of the Padres. He joins Tony Gwynn and Dave Winfield as Padres in the Hall of Fame. “We’re thrilled that Padres fans will forever be able to visit the iconic intersection of Trevor Hoffman Way and Tony Gwynn Drive at Petco Park,” said Padres Executive Chairman Ron Fowler & General Partner Peter Seidler. “They are two of the greatest individuals to ever wear a Padres uniform, and we’re thankful to the City of San Diego for recognizing their contributions to America’s Finest City.” The Padres submitted the application to rename the street two days after Hoffman was inducted. The Padres are covering all costs associated with the signage. ### .

SAN DIEGO, May 18, 2018 –One on One host Jane Mitchell is on her way to Cooperstown this summer to follow the historic journeys of baseball legends Trevor Hoffman and Alan Trammell to the National Baseball Hall of Fame, and she is getting fans ready now with countdown stories and videos through a special edition website www.countdowntocooperstown.com.

A unique experience for visitors, the site features an up-close and personal look at the two players’ careers and life stories, and shares how they are known around the game from fans and other Hall of Famers. It features regular posts, archived video clips, new stories and interviews.

In his second year on the ballot, the legendary Padres closer fell a mere five votes short of the 332 required for induction into the National Baseball Hall of Fame. Only Jeff Bagwell, Tim Raines and Ivan Rodriguez received the 75 percent needed for enshrinement in Cooperstown on Wednesday. Hoffman ultimately finished at 74, making him only the sixth player in history to fall one percentage point shy of being voted into the Hall. "I first want to send a very heartfelt congratulations to Jeff Bagwell, Tim Raines and Ivan Rodriguez. All three men exemplify what it means to be a Hall of Famer in our game," Hoffman said in a statement. "For me, falling short of this class is disappointing, but I don't take being on the ballot lightly.

During the tumultuous Padres sale situation last year, Fowler navigated the interests of the minority partners he represented – plus the Padres and Padres fans – through very trying times without a single lawsuit being filed.

Major League Baseball (Appendix 1)
MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL {Appendix 1, to Sports Facility Reports, Volume 18} Research completed as of July 19, 2017 Team: Arizona Diamondbacks Principal Owner: Ken Kendrick Year Established: 1998 Team Website Twitter: @Dbacks Most Recent Purchase Price ($/Mil): $238 (2004) Current Value ($/Mil): $1,150 Percent Change From Last Year: +24% Stadium: Chase Field Date Built: 1998 Facility Cost ($/Mil): $354 Percentage of Stadium Publicly Financed: 75% Facility Financing: The Maricopa County Stadium District provided $238 million for the construction through a 0.25% increase in county sales tax from April 1995 to November 1997. In addition, the Stadium District issued $15 million in bonds that are being paid off with stadium- generated revenue. The remainder was paid through private financing, including a naming-rights deal worth $66 million over thirty years and the Diamondbacks’ investment of $85 million. In 2007, the Maricopa County Stadium District paid off the remaining balance of $15 million on its portion of Chase Field. The payment erased the final debt for the stadium nineteen years earlier than expected. Facility Website Twitter: @MariCo_StadDist UPDATE: In January 2017, the Diamondbacks filed suit against the Maricopa County Stadium District claiming the District had failed to make the necessary capital repairs and improvements to the ballpark. An assessment done by the District concluded that $185 million will be needed for repairs and improvements. The D-backs contend that $135 million of that figure are capital repairs © Copyright 2017, National Sports Law Institute of Marquette University Law School Page 1 that the District is responsible for. The team has said in the past that it would take on those costs in exchange for a reduction of license fee payments and the ability to book the stadium for non- baseball use.
