PHOENIX -- Large crowds of media members consumed the surrounding areas where each of the reigning world champion Giants' All-Star Game representatives sat inside a hotel ballroom in the desert Monday.
Tim Lincecum, nearing veteran status at the Midsummer Classic, earned the largest space of the bunch in a corner, where a perfect view of his four teammates stared back at him during the hour-long session.
"Just representing San Francisco and being acknowledged not necessarily for what we did last year but the guys that have come through and pitched well and hit well this season, it's great to see," he said. "These are the kind of guys that are becoming perennial All-Stars. And with our coaches here, it makes it feel like an at-home atmosphere."
