Is it vain to name your dog after your own Cy Young award? Definitely. Is it awesome at the same time? Yes. What happens when he wins Cy #2. I say if he wins another he should name it The Second.
Holy Smoke! Dont tell me Lincecum is following the same trend of the University of Georgia Bulldogs' mascot! Georgia already had UGA #4 for crying out loud! My head is spinning already!
Lincecum didn't name the dog .. it was his friend's father, who got the dog for him, who insisted that its name be "Cy". Anyone who's listened to this kid talk will tell you that he's modest beyond all call, always focused on his game, and never overlooking the next opponent regardless of record. Tremendous perspective for a 25 year old with such talent.
