This is the anniversary of the date World Series star and Cy Young award winner Tim Lincecum was cited for misdemeanor marijuana possession in Washington State.
Washington State Patrol reported smelling marijuana when Lincecum initially rolled down the window, and upon inquiring about the smell Lincecum produced 3.3 grams and a pipe.
I guess life went on, and we all survived. He did not do too bad either.
The 26-year old Lincecum went to Liberty High School in Renton, WA just a few miles away from where he got popped.
He remained in the Pacific Northwest when he went on to play college ball at the University of Washington, and throughout the years.
His friend blogged about his arrest last year: "He didn't go all Andre Agassi on us and end up on some crystal meth, and Lincecum was not driving under the influence at the time. He was cited for going just 14 MPH over the posted 60 MPH speed limit.
The stretch of highway that he got pulled over in is a well-known spot for speed traps, because it is located just a few miles from the Oregon border where speed limit changes about every 20 yards.
Seriously, the speed limit is ridiculous.
It goes from 45 through Portland, then to 55, and back up to 60 before it hits a cool 70 a few more miles north.
Regardless of the speeding or weed involved, Lincecum has no prior history of indiscretions and no tarnishes on his record up to this point, so can’t we just give him a break on this one?"

Tim did not win the Cy Young in 2010. He won something better, a World Series championship ring. And proof once again for all Americans that a joint here and there does not stop you from being a championship athlete.
