a COOL pitch

Tim Lincecum, 26-year-old pitcher and two-time Cy Young Award Winner of the San Francisco Giants, pitched in $25,000 to the Bryan Stow Fund to help pay the 42-year-old paramedic's medical bills and expenses.

Bryan Stow is a longtime Giant fan who was attacked and beaten last month outside Dodger Stadium. After the Dodger's season opener Mr. Stow, a father of two, was heading to his car when he was jumped and beaten. Bryan remains in the hospital and is currently in a medically induced coma. There is a $150,000 reward for anyone who has any information about Mr. Stow's assailants. So far no arrests have been reported.

The young pitcher states, "This was a senseless act of violence and I wanted to help out Mr. Stow and his family. I encourage Giants fans to support Mr. Stow in a positive way and hope there are not any more unfortunate acts between fans in this great rivalry."

The Giants have also donated $10,000 to the Stow fund and have currently raised $70,000 in all.

Here's to Tim Lincecum, a young talented pitcher who has been voted the best pitcher in the National League back to back years (08'-09'), who made his best and most important pitch to Bryan Stow in hopes of helping him and his family recover from a horrific incident-stay positive, stay generous, and STAY COOL!
