Ladainian Tomlinson to stay with the Chargers.

This is off topic for my blog: but I'm a die-hard Chargers fan.

I have been worried about my San Diego teams. Both the Padres and the Chargers have seemed headed in bad directions.

The Padres after all let go of Trevor Hoffman, which disappointed me until I learned that Hoffman signed with The Brewers. Since I now live in Milwaukee - that works for me!

But on that note: the Chargers were seriously thinking of parting ways with L. T. But this just in: Tomlinson is remaining a Charger!

I've hated the direction my Padres have gone, just look at the attemps to deal Cy-young winner Jake Peavy! But the Chargers, at least, seem like they still want to win.

It's good to know L. T. is not leaving the Bolts! I could have only accepted that were he traded to Green Bay - as it would bring him here.

He's not what he once was, but he still is L. T. And besides the man is taking a pay cut to stay with his team and his fans. Classy. And increasingly rare these days.

Just thought I'd share my joy!!!!!!! This is good news for us native San Diegans and Chargers fans everywhere!!!!

There's a new homerun champion of the world . . . and it's Henry Aaron!

Huliq News is reporting that the major league baseball all time homerun record might be be officially restored to Hank Aaron, as Bonds' steroid use makes his homeruns illegitimate. MLB Commissioner Bud Selig is even now considering such a move.

As Selig is from Milwaukee and a personal friend of Aaron's we have good reason to think the move is likely. Not that personal reasons should affect his decision. What matters is the integrity and moral fiber of the game.

I hope commissioner bud Selig returns the record to Aaron. Integrity, honesty, and fair play matter. This is why Hank Aaron is a hero, and Bonds a mere disgrace.

Here's to the Hammer!

Happy Birthday Hank Aaron!

Hank Aaron turns 75 today. As far as I'm concerned he is still the home run champion. So to the real home run king: HAPPY 75TH!!!!
