The San Francisco Giants announced Thursday that Cristin Coleman, the wife of former Cy Young winner Tim Lincecum, has died.
The team expressed its condolences to Lincecum, his wife’s family, her friends and her students.
Coleman was the principal of Washington Elementary School in Burlingame, Calif., and lost her battle with cancer on June 27. She was reportedly surrounded by family and died peacefully.Maillot Chicago White Sox
Jalynne Crawford, wife of Giants shortstop Brandon Crawford, called Coleman a great human who touched her in many ways.
The news of Coleman’s death also provides an unfortunate answer for why Lincecum was a notable omission from the Giants’ guest list for their 2012 World Series reunion on Saturday.nice mlb jersey
Lincecum is famously private about his personal life — he had not been publicly reported to be married until the Giants’ announcement Thursday — but his relationship with Coleman went back to at least 2012, when they celebrated his second World Series championship together.
