    Padres continue to treat fallen LaChappa as one of their own
    By Tim Sullivan

    Matt LaChappa hasn't thrown a pitch professionally in 10 years. He is confined to a wheelchair, and constrained by the physical fallout from back-to-back heart attacks.

    Yet the Padres continue to pay him as if he were an active player. It might be the noblest thing they do.

    Wow. I have never heard his story before. How sad. Yet uplifting that the team is showing that, in spite of what a business baseball is, there is still a caring, human side.
