Tim Lincecum
Athlete
Tim Lincecum was born on June 15, 1984. He has always loved baseball but was told he was too small to ever play in the big leagues. However, he still played in school and made it to the majors. The Giants made him a star pitcher and he became a hero for Filipino Americans. When Tim was put on the bench, he respected the manager’s decision and wasn’t angry. He still supported his team and cheered for his teammates.
