The Padres might suck ... but here's something about the team that doesn't -- Craig Stammen's epic Trevor Hoffman socks!!
The team's honoring its newest Hall of Famer this weekend with a statue and a bunch of cool Hoffman giveaways ... but Craig got an early jump on the celebration with some heat on his feet.
Craig Stammen's sock game: Strong.
Craig Stammen's 8th inning: Also strong.
He gets through the 8th on only 7️⃣ pitches! pic.twitter.com/BGx9UEKSKI
The socks feature the Padres' legendary closer mid-windup, surrounded by flames -- which is appropriate, since the dude's walk-up song WAS "Hells Bells."
FYI -- Stance makes the gear -- and a pair goes for about $20 ... but looks like they're only available at Petco Park's team store.
As for Craig ... he threw a perfect, 7-pitch eighth inning ... but, of course, the Pads still lost.
Sweet socks, though!
