The post is by Bryon Graff. The stories are from Jack Roeder, the GM of the Kernels.
Roeder recalls a newspaper story about Hoffman in which the reporter asked the pitcher what he did in the bullpen before entering games. Hoffman's reply? I dig up worms to eat. That right there told Roeder that Hoffman had the so-called "closer's mentality." Hoffman is also a great asset in the communit[y]. Roeder says he would sign up for everything. One time there was a dog show that needed judges. So the team chose a couple players and sent them off. Later Hoffman asks why he wasn't asked to judge the show. As Roeder put it the show "was nothing" but Hoffman said it's something he really would have liked to attend.
