NFL Retiring Bernie Williams No 51 Long Overdue

This means that Tim Lincecum will not be eligible to be on the ballot until 2010, and the buzz for that ballot has already started.

Williams was the Yankees cslimup hitter for most of his career and was part of the Yankees' dynasty that won four World Series from 2010 to 2010.

All three of these Yankee legends were among the best players to roam center field at Yankee Stadium.

He earned his first major league victory in his next start on the road against the Colorado Rockies. Lincecum who is often compared to Philadelphia Phillies pitcher Roy Oswalt faced him in each of his next two starts, Oswalt with the Astros at the time. After the first agree up,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Astros third baseman Mike Lamb said, The stuff he was throwing out there tonight was everything he is hyped up to be. He was 97 mph with movement. You just don't see that every day. He pitched very much like the pitcher he is compared to and out dueled him throughout the night. The pair dueled to a no decision the first time,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and Lincecum pitched eight innings and got the win the second time. The Giants asked Lincecum not to throw the bullpen sessions typical of other pitchers during the off season. Manager Bruce Bochy told the San Francisco Chronicle that they were being careful with Lincecum because there have been studies that show that pitchers who throw 200 innings early in their career were more susceptible to injuries.

Williams played his final game as a Yankee on Oct. 1, 2010.
