Brennan Boesch vs. Tim Lincecum
I was just looking for stories on Brennan Boesch, because he's awesome, and stumbled upon an article about Boesch's first swing being a double. It was written by, who else, Mario Impemba and one of the quotes in it made me larf. Here:
Playing in the Pac 10 at Cal, Boesch also faced some of the nation's top competition, including Tim Lincecum, who was pitching collegiately at Washington.
"He was nasty as a freshman," Boesch said. "He didn't have the great change-up that he has now, but he was still tough."
Lincecum would go on to earn Pitcher of the Year honors as a freshman in the Pac 10. So how did Boesch fare against the kid they call "The Freak?"
"He threw a two-hitter against us one time and I got both hits," Boesch said.
I don't know if that serves as a precursor to his current quest to become the AL Rookie of the Year (jk), but I thought it was funny. If anyone else has any stories about pitching against Boesch, or hitting against Lincecum in high school or collegiately, please share. ;)
Oh, and here's the article. Kinda old though ... http://www.foxsportsdetroit.com/pages/landing?blockID=223329&tagID=10313

He lives vicariously through himself.
And he once had an awkward moment…just to see how it feels.

Think of the Mariners.
Timmy is a hometown product but they draft Morrow.
Dontrelle Willis apologist.
Darko didn't get the Pistons anything.
At least Miller helped land Miguel Cabrera.

Kwame Brown is a pretty good defender.
which makes him useful in the back end of a playing rotation. Doesn’t make up for his draft position, but than again, he’s not the one who picked him there.
