While the San Diego sports world focused on the release of LaDainian Tomlinson on Monday, the Hall of Champions went on to honor five new inductees and recognize the best that the San Diego sports world had to offer in 2009.
A crowd of more than 900 strong showed up to the Town and Country Convention Center in Mission Valley to show their respect to the athletes and the San Diego sports community.
