Gaslamp Reccing Ball: Person of the Year

The last one was crazy successful by my standards. Let's do one that might be even more useful.

Who was the Padres person of the year?

Again, nominate whoever. Player, front office person, local celebrity, etc. We'll count up the recs and have a list.

I'll let the Things We Lost thread go a little longer and then our holiday treat will be a few nice little lists.

GO!

Weathered the storm that was the Padres rotation. Pitched okay. Local guy.

He got all of his ideas into the front office via Garfinkel

because of his “I’m better than you” attitude that he has been showing a lot lately (HE knew about Enberg before ALL OF US!!"). Not a good thing but I’m afraid he’ll shut down the site if his name isn’t mentioned.

Heath Bell

his All-Star season aside, just think of how unentertaining ’09 would have been without Heath. The guy never censors himself, likes to act like a little kid and gets more fired-up than anyone else in the big leagues.

Keith Law

because he came onto the site to defend himself even though he thinks the Padres play in New Orleans.

That's f---ing bulls---

Careful what you say Ron Mexico. Klaw googles himself every day and will threaten to sue you for that “Padres play in New Orleans” comment.

NOTE***

The above statement is SDPads_1 opinion. Nothing said there can be used in a court of law.

"I'm a Padre at heart. Always gonna root for the Padres. Twenty-five years [with this organization], how can't you? Next year I'm gonna be rooting like a son-of-a-gun for these guys and for Blackie ... I'm gonna be rooting for the next general manager here, rooting for the city, the fans, everybody. I think a lot of San Diego." -Kevin Towers

SO even keeled

"Get on board early," Black said, alluding to, what he feels, is a crop of up-and-coming players.

"I would tell those fans that we're going to play good baseball. We're going to play hard. We're going to have exciting young players..." -Bud Black

Remember when he got extensions?
