SPORTS HITS

This week we lost an icon that thrilled everyone with his music and touched many lives. Most people do not equate Michael Jackson with sports, but his music still is used by ball players even after his death. After hearing of his death many Major League players asked to use some of his songs as they walk to the plate or out of the bullpen. Several Milwaukee Brewer players did and are planning to use them longer as a tribute and respect for the great entertainer.

Most people do not realize that Michael jackson crossed many different boundaries and sports was just another one that he touched. His music will be around forever and will be missed, but his legacy will live forever and you might just hear his music at your favorite ball park as well.

If you have been following Sports Hits for anytime you have realized that we love sports of all kinds and the people who play it. This is why I have come up with the Sports Hits Hall Of Fame. At the top of this blog you will see a link where you can click on to read everyday about our newest addition to the Hall Of Fame.

Now the people who will be added to the Sports Hits Hall Of Fame are players who may not have the stats you need to get to the regular Hall of Fame in their sport, but still made a valuable contribution to their teams and help them win. There are many deserving players out their so look for the first entry tomorrow. You can also send me nominations in on who you think should be there as well. It can come from any sport men or women does not matter. This should be a lot of fun and your input is always something I look forward to.

Just wanted to drop some Christmas cheer to all the sports fans in the Internet world and wish some great new wishes to some teams that need it this coming year. First I want to give some holiday cheer to Seattle who has had a very rough year. They lost their basketball franchise and than the Mariners, and Seahawks were dreadful in 2008. Hopefully better things in sports will come in 2009 for this city.

Also would like to wish all sports fans everywhere a Merry Christmas and remember it’s not about how you play the game, it is about whether you win or lose. Just messing with everyone. Hope you all have a very Merry Christmas!

Nikolai Valuev is not going to help his resume with this win over Evander Holyfield, but we learned a lot watching this fight. First of all Valuev maybe a champion, but if he fights any real good fighter he will not be a title holder for much longer. Second we learned that Evander Holyfield still has the heart of a champion and gave it his best shot. He lost to Valuev as one judged scored the bout a draw, while the others had Valuev winning 116-112 and 115-114 so the fight was very close.

For Holyfield this probably marks the end of the road for him. Many people felt he should not fight again when he took this fight. At 46 years old I think it’s time that Evander hangs up his gloves as he has been a worthy champion through the years and will go down as a very good fighter who always had class in and out of the ring.
