Tim Lincecum, cannabis consumer, named NL Cy Young winner 2nd year in a row

By "Radical" Russ Belville on November 19, 2009

(USA Today) Tim Lincecum of the San Francisco Giants won his second consecutive National League Cy Young Award Thursday, becoming the first repeat winner in the major leagues since Randy Johnson won four times from 1999 to 2002.

Lincecum got 11 of 32 first-place votes and 100 points overall in the voting by the Baseball Writers Association of America and beat the St. Louis Cardinals’ Chris Carpenter and Adam Wainwright in one of the closest races in the award’s history. Carpenter had nine first-place votes and 94 points, and Wainwright had 12 first-place votes and 90 points.

Yes, the same guy who was popped in Washington State for a personal amount of weed is the best pitcher in the National League for two years in a row.  We begin the year with eight-time gold medalist Michael Phelps smoking a bong and we end the year with two-time Cy Young winner Tim Lincecum smoking a bowl.  Can we finally dispense with the notion that marijuana smoking turns you into an unaccomplished slacker loser?

    Sorry, the Super Bowl was on the 1st day of February. I always associated the SB with the month of January.

    Don’t forget about Santonio Holmes catching the game winning TD in the Super Bowl in January. This has been a rather nice year for cannabis athletes.

    Congrats to Tim Lincecum!
