"...Lincecum shut down the weakest-hitting team
in the majors, striking out six and walking one
in a 113-pitch outing — 35 fewer than he
needed last July 13 against the Padres in his
first no-hitter.
Lincecum retired the final 23 batters after
walking Chase Headley in the second inning,
relying much more on his off-speed stuff than
his fastball. Lincecum's gem was the third no-
hitter in the majors in the past month..."

I attended the public memorial service for Tony Gwynn at Petco Park. I think he is the people's choice for sainthood, at least baseball sainthood...I've never heard a person so HIGHLY praised not just for his baseball talent but as a person off the field as well. 022815
