For the sixth time within 10 years Redlands native Landon Donovan was named Honda Player of the year today in Los Angeles.
Donovan previously won the award in 2002, 2003, 2004, 2007, 2008 and this year beat out goalkeeper Tim Howard and striker Jozy Altidore to win the award yet again as the best player on the national team.
So naturally they gave him a Player of the Decade award, too.
One question: what is he going to do with his latest Honda vehicle that's given to the winner? They must be clogging up the driveway.

Now, if he could just add another MLS Cup & MVP to that trophy case...
i agree a MLS Cup and MVP would be a pretty nice addition to cap off this year.
