At the end of the Cy Young conference call, San Francisco Giants ace pitcher Tim Lincecum read a statement addressing his marijuana charges from an Oct. 30 traffic stop in Washington. Here is his full statement, as posted in this San Jose Mercury News sports blog:
“I made a mistake and regret my actions earlier this month in Washington. I want to apologize to the Giants organization and to the fans. I know that as a professional athlete I have a responsibility to conduct myself appropriately both on and off the field. I certainly have learned a valuable lesson through all of this and I promise to do better in the future. In the meantime, I am focused on preparing for the 2010 season.”
Lincecum didn’t take questions on the marijuana matter, the blog states, and he’s set to appear in court Dec. 22 in Clark County, Wash.
