It is hard to say who or what will be the big winners of 2009, but I will go out on a limb. If Hank Baskett's wedding to Playboy model Kendra Wilkinson of the Girls Next Door is a go in June, I would say that Mr. Baskett will be a big winner in 2009.

As a wide receiver in the NFL, you only have a certain amount of time to make your mark. Wilkinson at only 23, looks to have plenty of shelf life left.

Baskett came to Shamokin to play in Philadelphia Eagles charity basketball game and was one of the crowd favorites with his athletic dunks. In conversation with this blogger who did public address that day, he was generally a down to earth guy.
