Trevor Hoffman etched his name deeper into the MLB record books on Sept. 7 by nailing down the 600th career save.

The former Arizona Wildcat is the all-time saves leader, leading New York Yankee legend Mariano Rivera by more than 40 saves.

Not too shabby for a guy who played shortstop during his days as a Wildcat.

BURNING RUBBER

The NASCAR season has hit its halfway point and former Arizona Wildcat Kurt Busch is riding high and tight.

The ex-Arizona dorm rat’s 2,524 points place him fifth overall in the Sprint Cup points standings after 18 races. His 11 top-10 finishes and $4.413 million in earnings this year allows him to buy more Ramen Noodles than any other driver on the circuit.

This week, Busch will burn rubber at Indianapolis’ fabled Brickyard 400.
