From the Bleachers

SfGate.com, the website of the esteemed newspaper the San Francisco Chronicle had an interesting post about Tim Lincecum's motion-capture session for 2K's next baseball game. That's not the interesting part. May I direct your attention to this section of the story:

"Later, Lincecum spent some time helping some journalists learn how to throw. One scribe tossed a ball that hit a ceiling beam 30 feet above them. It made Lincecum appreciate the work his father did to train him right."

Who could that unnamed scribe be?

Tune in to Monday's From the Bleacher's podcast to hear the excuses fly.
