Lincecum wins Babe Ruth Award..

The Baseball Writers' Association of America named the Giants ace the 2010 recipient of the Babe Ruth Award.
--------
Lincecum was 4-1 with a 2.43 ERA in six postseason appearances. In 37.0 IP, he struck out 43 batters and walked just nine as the Giants won their first World Series championship since moving to San Francisco for the 1958 season.

The Babe Ruth Award is given by the BBWAA for whom they consider to be the postseason's MVP. Pretty nice.

1. Is there an award for most coachable athelete?
Cause if there is Lincecum should win it hands down..I was impressed that this Cy Young winner was so willing to listen to advice on changing his work out habits after struggling in July and August -and it really paid off in the post season. There are a lot of people at his level who would not have taken that advice...

2. Hey, when you're that 'relaxed" you don't argue with people who are trying to help
...if you know what I mean.
