Trevor Hoffman is no stranger to great baseball cards. He's been pictured signing, bunting, and wearing catcher's gear, among other things. Hoffman's 1998 Upper Deck Collector's Choice All-Star card might be the best of the bunch. Trevor seems to be enjoying himself immensely, which makes me wonder even more what he's focusing in on. There's a nearly-endless array of possibilities, but in honor of his uniform number I'll narrow it down to my 51 best guesses as to what he's snapping pics of.
