Seeing Is Deceiving


Last year I had the opportunity to be down on the playing field near the San Francisco Giant's dugout. Tim Lincecum, the team's star pitcher walked by. Also known as The Freak by his team mates, Tim is only 5'-10" tall and weighs about 170 lbs which made me wonder how an athlete with such a slight build can throw a little round baseball as hard as he does.

The answer is that he has the arm strength, was taught the proper pitching mechanics and he has the grit. Each game he hones his skills and is learning to pitch smarter. The Giants are close to winning their division as the regular baseball season nears the end. Sharpie, Prismacolor pens. SOLD
