It was reported that Charlie Sheen sent his private jet last week to the Giants Spring Training site to pick up Brian Wilson and bring him back to the actors house in Los Angeles. After going to Sheen's house, Brain Wilson was flown back in the jet in enough time to make the Saturday practice. Rumors spread the Sheen threw a party during Wilson's visit, yet Wilson cleared everything up with reporters almost immediately after. Brian Wilson was asked to come to Sheen's house to talk about his nutrition, workouts, and baseball memories in hopes of capturing his character for the movie Major League III( Sheen play's "the wild thing" relief pitcher).
Buster Posey:
Posey has become quite the celebrity among baseball fans since reaching the Majors last year. It became really apparent when he tried to exit Scottsdale Stadium after one spring training day. A mob of fan frantically tried to get his autograph while a few succeeded. However, one man kept trying to get the autograph even after Posey had made it inside his truck. The man didn't get it but succeeded in damaging Buster's truck. On the baseball side of things, Giants manager told media recently that Posey will not play first base off his days away from catching this season. Although he did mention that he could catch over 135 games for the Giants through out the year.
Tim Lincecum:
Lincecum reported to Spring training on a mission. He came to Arizona in what appears to be the best shape he has ever been. He went on a strict off season program after the world series title, and wants to silence all the doubters once and for all. Giants manager said he looked great off the mound and is planning on having him pitch on opening day against their long time rivals, the LA Dodgers. In other news, he was recently voted on by GQ to be the number one coolest professional athlete in 2010.
Google Charity Shootout:
Four Giants and four 49's squared off at Pebble Beach in a Charity golf match. The winning team would get to donate $10,000 to the charity of their choice. Of course, the Giants won the match behind the heroics of Cody Ross and Matt Cain. The money was donated to the Sunrise House which is an organized based out of California that helps troubled teens.
Just a little reminder for all you Giants fans out there: 3 more days until Spring Training games start. Get Excited!
