San Francisco Giants pitcher Tim Lincecum teaches his virtual twin the rules of the game in a spot for 2K Sports’ MLB 2K9 by Ground Zero in Marina del Rey, Calif. The eager newbie runs up the mound to meet his real-life counterpart. “Lesson one, we’re never late,” Lincecum scolds him as he begins to give him pitching tips. The virtual hurler silently soaks it all in to Lincecum’s liking until, during a drive, he starts to sing along to Wang Chung’s “Dance Hall Days.”
