Phillies Fan Will Face Tim Lincecum in Spring Training Next Year

It figures. It figures that a Phillies fan would win this Red Bull contest to face Tim Lincecum.
Fist bump to Buzz on Broad for catching this SF Gate story about the guy who won the right (privilege?) to bat against Timmay by best imitating the Giants pitcher’s delivery.
The winner? Lance Lampert (unfortunate), whose friends call him “Lancecum” (get it?). He is a 20-year-old from Philadelphia who gets to face Lincecum at spring training next year and will presumably be wearing a Phillies hat when he does. Which means we can fully expect L squared to get buried 0-2 before chasing a slider in the dirt.
Anyway, good luck to Lance. Pretty cool opportunity.
