Evgeni's decision is he wants to stay in Pittsburgh

 Evgeni's decision is he wants to stay in Pittsburgh."The KHL is going to replace the former Russian Super League.  It is going to have 24 teams, and the inaugural season will begin this coming September. Chris Simon and John Grahame have already said that they want to play in the league in its first season."My goodness, it's a big decision for Malkin," Phoenix coach Wayne Gretzky said "Financially, it's incredible  You get a chance to go back to your home country. On the other side of it, you get to play with one of the best players in the National Hockey League in Crosby...In some ways, it's overwhelming, to be honest with you."My personal opinion is that Malkin did not have to think twice before declining this offer.

 If I were in his position, I would not even think about going to Russia. It is a country in which Malkin would not get much freedom, and the difference between the $7 million-$8 million that he will be getting in his next contract and the $12.5 he'll make in Russia is not much, especially since staying here means he gets to continue playing in Pittsburgh with Crosby and Co.Malkin will surely win a few Stanley Cups in his career, especially if he stays with the Penguins.  He is a fantastic player, and is smart enough to stay in the NHL, the best hockey league in the world.. Henry Louis Gehrig was a man that every generation could look up to with pride and honor. He held some of the greatest records known to the sport of baseball yet still exuded the humbleness of a rookie.His accomplishments are undeniable even in today's terms. A .340 career batting average, 493 home runs, 1,995 runs batted in, seven-time All-Star, six-time world champion, two-time AL most valuable player, and the youngest player to ever have their number retired.Gehrig also had a lifetime .447 on-base percentage and a lifetime slugging percentage of .632.

He also won the triple crown award in 1934.I do not have to tell you how hard it is for a player to win a triple crown (see Big Brown vs. Josh Hamilton, present day).The son of poor German immigrants, Lou Gehrig's parents did not think too highly of the sport of baseball, they considered it a schoolyard affair. Gehrig's talents first came onto the scene when he was only a 17-year old.On Jun. 26, 1920, his New York School of Commerce was playing Chicago's Lane Tech High School at Cubs Park (present day Wrigley Field). With his team winning 8-6, Gehrig blasted a grand slam home run that completely left the ballpark.A natural power hitter in his early teens, it seemed as if Lou was blessed with a raw ability to drive the ball It seemed he himself was made out of iron. Only a few years later he would be noticed by major league scouts despite impressive numbers, as a pitcher.On Apr.

18, 1923 during a Colombia game, Gehrig struck out 17 batters. However, New York Yankees scout Paul Krichell was in the stands. Despite the pitching feat, Krichell was more impressed with Gehrig'spowerful hitting.Having tracked him for months, he had witnessed Gehrig hit some of the longest home runs all over college campuses One in particular on Apr. 28, 1923 landed an estimated 450 feet at Colombia's South Field.Gehrig was signed to a major league contract for the Yankees only two months later.Playing in the shadow of Babe Ruth for most of his career, Lou Gehrig was one of the greatest run producers of all time.
