Thank y'all for watching! These videos take a while to make so I'm always grateful. Let me know what players you'd like to see next!

He didn't disappear... he played 10 seasons and won 4 world series + mvp for the giants. He'll of a career.

I'm good friends with Tim, known him since freshman year of high school ... We were at Whistler a few months ago, it was the first time I've seen him in awhile, and he's happier now than he's ever been. He was so burned out by the end of his career, and when he finally retired, he just wanted to be normal. Great dude who puts his family first, and hasn't changed since we were 14.

Tim was a great pitcher, but an even better human being. My family ran into him at a restaurant in Oakland in 2015. He was really kind to our children and when we asked for our check the waitress told us that Tim paid for it on his way out.

I always knew the kid from “Dazed and Confused” would go on to achieve great pitcher status!

Tim Lincecum is my all time favorite pitcher, in 2010 I finally experienced my first world series title as a life long San Francisco Giants fan. Lincecum was a big part of the Giants 3 titles success.
Thank you Tim , I am very grateful to you, I will never forget how I felt to finally witness my team rushing the mound after clinching the 2010 series. I literally cried, tears of so much joy.

I went to a giants v marlins game in Miami. I was one of the first in the stadium and I saw him warming up and yelled “big time Timmy Jim,” he laughed and threw me a ball. I caught it whilst FaceTiming my mom. I still have said ball.

Tim Lincecum was absolutely mind blowing to watch back in the day.  He was Hall of Fame material.  Just sad that the guy got hurt, but, anyone whoever saw the guy pitch in his prime will never forget Tim Lincecum.

Last time I heard from Tim his wife had passed away 😢! My condolences to him and his family.

Damn, talk about “better to burn out than fade away.” Dude just gave his all, reached the peak, and was done.

In my opinion, Lincecum should be in the hall of fame. His greatness, while relatively short-lived, was so powerful that it needs to be recognized. I know the hall of fame is also about longevity, but for the heights that Lincecum reached, it warrants a HOF bid.

The stadium went nuts when he appeared for Bochy's retirement after being gone for so long. SF should retire his number as soon it's official, easily my favorite pitcher of all time

I met him in San Diego when I was working at the Omni hotel. One of the nicest ball players I've met. Took time to talk to me about my Filipino heritage and he shared his. I'm a Padres fan but my interaction with Tim gave me much love for the Giants.

Tim was a phenomenal pitcher.   I’m by no means a SF Giants fan, but you cannot deny Tim’s greatness.  I’m sorry for his health issues and the loss of his wife.  I hope he’s doing well.  God bless him!

He had an amazing career & brought so much joy to Giants fans. I didn't think he disappeared, but rather retired. It was so sad hearing his wife died of cancer a few years back, leaving him a single father. I hope he & his children are living their best lives & I'd really like to hear that he's happy & healthy.

I used to work for the Giants on the outside of the ballpark and players lot during this period Tim was the coolest player of them all he would always take the time to say good morning

Longevity is just one way to measure greatness.   You can never take away what he was for the time he was dominant.  He might not make the "Hall of Fame" but nobody that was alive and a baseball fan at the time will ever forget his name.  Congrats on a marvelous career Tim, from a Mets fan

Going from World Series rings and being at the top of the league, to being plagued by injuries and personal life tragedies (Lincecum's wife, Cristin Coleman, was a schoolteacher and principal. She died of cancer in June 2022 at age 38.) That level of high to low has to be tough on anyone, hopefully he's got the resources and a good circle of positive influences around him to be able to cope.

As Giants fan we still got love for Timmy. He helped the Giants get to 3 Championships even if his game fell off. He will be forever Giant.

As someone that grew up in the Bay Area, let me say that when he was on the Giants, everyone loved the guy. Even when he sucked post-2009, everyone still liked to see him play. I think I still see some Lincecum shirts and jerseys when I go to Giants games these days.
