Before being drafted by the San Francisco Giants, he attended Central Kitsap High School in Silverdale, Washington and played collegiate baseball at the University of Washington before being kicked off the team for multiple violations of team and school conduct policy. These included balcony hopping and smuggling Cuban cigars into the United States upon returning from a goodwill game in Cuba. He subsequently played ball at Louisiana State University. He played first base in college. [http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2008/02/21/SPRSV5PT5.DTL Linden likes blue-collar team] ]
