Found September 24, 2006 on Sign on San Diego:
Hell's Bells Ring With 479th Save
TEAMS: San Diego Padres,  Pittsburgh Pirates
PLAYERS: Trevor Hoffman,  Lee Smith
Trevor Hoffman became baseball's career saves leader on Sunday, earning No. 479 to pass Lee Smith and help the NL West-leading Padres beat the Pittsburgh Pirates 2-1. With the sellout crowd of 41,932 on its feet and cheering, the 38-year-old Hoffman jogged in from the bullpen, staring at the ground the whole way, with AC/DC's "Hells Bells" blaring, as it has for each of his home save opportunities since July 25, 1998.

    Congrats to Hoffman. I am not sure how many of you have ever been to a Padres game when Hoffman runs in with Hells Bells rockin in the background. The stadium becomes electric and it is truly one of the more awesome recurring phenomena in sports.

      Hoffman's been pretty awesome all season. Let's hope he's got a few more seasons in him.

    He's been so reliable this year, as in years past. Let's hope the Giants take care of the Dodgers this weekend.
