Tim Lincecum
Timothy Leroy Lincecum ( LIN-sə-kum; born June 15, 1984) is an American professional baseball pitcher. He played in Major League Baseball (MLB) for the San Francisco Giants from 2007 to 2015 and for the Los Angeles Angels in 2016, but as of 2020 had not announced his retirement. Lincecum helped the Giants win three World Series championships in a five-year span. Lincecum was the team's ace starter in 2010 and relief pitcher in 2012 and 2014, winning the Babe Ruth Award in 2010 as the most valuable player of the MLB postseason. After attending Liberty Senior High School in Renton, Washington, Lincecum played college baseball at the University of Washington. Pitching for the Washington Huskies, he won the 2006 Golden Spikes Award. That year, Lincecum became the first Washington Husky to be selected in the first round of an MLB Draft, when the San Francisco Giants selected him tenth overall. Nicknamed "The Freak" for his ability to generate powerful pitches from his athletic but slight physique, the 5 feet 11 inches (1.80 m) 170 pounds (77 kg) power pitcher led the National League in strikeouts and strikeouts per nine innings pitched for three consecutive years in a span from 2008 to 2010 as well as shutouts in 2009, helping Lincecum win consecutive Cy Young Awards in 2008 and 2009 to become the first MLB pitcher to win the award in his first two full seasons. He has also appeared in four consecutive All-Star Games, from 2008 through 2011. In 2013, Lincecum pitched the first Petco Park no-hitter against the San Diego Padres. He repeated the feat again the following year, becoming the first MLB pitcher to throw no-hitters against the same team in consecutive seasons. Lincecum's 1,736 career strikeouts are the fifth-most by a pitcher who has more strikeouts than innings pitched, behind Hall of Famers Nolan Ryan, Pedro Martínez, Randy Johnson, and Sandy Koufax. Lincecum is one of only two pitchers in MLB history to win multiple World Series championships, multiple Cy Young Awards, throw multiple no-hitters, and be elected to multiple All-Star Games, the other being Hall of Famer Sandy Koufax.

Hanging With Miss Cooper: At least consider Tim Lincecum for the MLB Hall of Fame

If you were a fan of baseball from about 2007-2013, you know exactly who I’m talking about. Heck if you were a fan of sports who watched any amount of ESPN in that span you know who I’m talking about, because the “This is SportsCenter” commercial quoted above ran approximately eight times an hour. I have no data to back this up, but it seems like it’s still the most played SportsCenter commercial of all time.

Tim Lincecum highlights new Giants on the HoF ballot

The Baseball Writers' Association of America has added 13 names to the ballot for the Hall of Fame class of 2022, and four of them are former San Francisco Giants. Most notable is one of the players nearest and dearest to almost every Giants fan's heart: Tim Lincecum. While Lincecum reached some of the highest highs in the sport — winning back-to-back Cy Young Awards in 2008 and 2009, and then being a part of three championship teams — he's very unlikely to get voted in due to the shortness of b...

From feel-good story to SF Giants’ history: Why Logan Webb made Buster Posey think of Tim Lincecum

SAN FRANCISCO — In a span of five days, Logan Webb went from another Giants feel-good story to a player who is carving out a special place in franchise history. Webb’s fame is sudden, but it’s hardly unexpected for a pitcher who followed up a division-clinching win on Sunday by conjuring up memories of Tim Lincecum with 7 2/3 scoreless innings in a dominant 4-0 victory against the Dodgers in Game 1 of the NLDS on Friday.
