SAN JOSE, Calif. — While Tim Lincecum has largely disappeared from the public eye since retiring from baseball, the lovable and eccentric World Series champion has privately been dealing with personal tragedy.
Lincecum’s wife, Cristin Coleman, a principal at a Peninsula elementary school, died in June after a yearslong battle with cancer.
While the news of Coleman’s death was reported at the time — a beloved figure herself at Burlingame School District’s Washington Elementary School — the Giants organization on Thursday confirmed her connection to Lincecum while mourning her loss.
