America's Major League Soccer is in the minor leagues worldwide, but David Beckham has now signed to play for the Galaxy, headquartered in Carson. The price tag is $250 million, and Major League Soccer officials claim Beckham will finally make their sport a national pastime.

Does he still have the talent? Will he be just another Hollywood celebrity?
