Why Woven
HOW IT ALL STARTED...
It all started on June 25, 2014 when our team took the afternoon off to catch a San Francisco Giants game for some team bonding, a beer and a hotdog. We were at the ballpark...how could it get any better than this?
And then Tim Lincecum threw a no-hitter. It was an unlikely outcome delivered by an unconventional guy. We were thrilled we got to witness it.
Thanks, Tim.
