Good Guys of the Week - San Diego Padres
This week has been extremely negative.
Everywhere I turn.
The terror attacks in Paris has unleashed a wave of brutality here in the United States.
Evidently the fans of GOP are trying to win the 2012 elections by saying that this administration has detonated the bombs in France.
People on the Democratic side of the aisle are bashing Bush.
Refugees are fleeing from violence and terror and they aren't welcome.
Charlie Sheen has HIV.
So.
I tried real hard not to think about all the D.B.'s running around all over the world.
I wanted to hear something good.
And lo and behold, I stumbled on the story of Matt LaChappa.
LaChappa was once a promising baseball pitcher who was on the verge of the major leagues.
At the age of 20 he suffered a heart attack.
20!
He nearly died.
This was back in 1993.
The San Diego Padres win the good guys of the week award.
Because they still have LaChappa on the team.
Every year they sign LaChappa to a one-year contract.
So that he is still a Padre.
And so they can keep him in their organization so that his medical bills are covered.
Isn't that cool?
Isn't that better than fighting with some idiot on social media over something that can't be changed...
...won't be changed...
...and does nothing to dissuade the anger.
A class move by an organization.
We need more class moves.
