Galaxy's Beckham named MLS Comeback Player of the Year & more

Payoff! It took five years, but AEG head honcho Tim Leiweke and the Galaxy finally got their money's worth from David Beckham in 2011 (AP Photo).

MLS Cup 2011 at Carson's sold out Home Depot Center between the Galaxy and Houston Dynamo is now just seven days away.

*David Beckham's 15 assists and the Galaxy's 10-1-3 record with him in the lineup earned him the nod today as the MLS Comeback Player of the Year after missing six months and all but seven games last year with a torn Achilles tendon.
