What? wrote on Jan 1, 2008 11:19 AM:Pirateparent has a point. I would also like to toss in my fav socal sports story. El Cajon Native Jimmie Johnsons second consecutive Nextel Cup Title. All I have to say about stories 1,3 and 6 is who cares. 5 and 8 are just typical sports stories and aren't anything special.
