When I opened an account on Twitter a little over a year ago, my husband seemed puzzled. He wondered why I’d want to read about other people’s mundane little details of life and who would want to read mine. He created his own account, probably convinced he’d never use it.

Lately, however, I can hardly keep him off the Twitter webpage. And I think I’ve discovered why: San Diego sports stars are starting to tweet.

Here’s a breakdown of who you can follow:

Now, who knows if @jakepeavy on Twitter is actually written by Jake Peavy. Maybe he should start up a 12Seconds video channel like Shawne Merriman did.

Whaddya say, Jake?
