Jimmie Johnson congratulates San Diego Padre Adrian Gonzales
All of us here at Jimmie Johnson Chevrolet in Kearny Mesa would like to congratulate Adrian Gonzales from the San Diego Padres for making the All Star team and for being selected to the Home Run Derby. It is very interesting that four first basemen selected to the All Star Game are contestants in the Home Run Derby. We will be rooting Adrian on during the contest and hope that he does well.Adrian is considered one of the finest all around first baseman in the major leagues but he gets very little national recognition because he plays here in San Diego. Heath Bell who was also selected to the All Star team as a closing pitcher had this to say about Adrian.
'It's a shame what everyone is missing, because what this guy is doing is amazing. He plays in San Diego, so he's never promoted. You run into people that say, San Diego, oh yeah, wasn't that the team Tony Gwynn played on?'
So again congratulations to both Adrian and Heath Bell and we will be watching them next Tuesday at the All Star game in St. Louis. You see we are not just race fans here at Jimmie Johnson Chevrolet but we do keep track of all sports especially our San Diego teams.
