Allow me to change the subject. Instead of harping on Lee (no, not Harper Lee), let me praise Tim Lincecum. A two time Cy Young winner by 25, two victories in the Giants first S.F. World Series, a countercultural figure...he's become a bit of a folk hero and I'm certain they idolize him in the Bay.
And how about Buster Posey? In mid-May he's playing minor league ball and waiting for his call up. On November 1, he's a nationally known athlete and a world champion.
There are many great stories here.
