Who walked around clubhouses wearing a T-shirt reading "Play like an All-Star, party like a rock star, hammer like a porn star"? Yup, it was Giambi. The thought of Giambi as a porn star turns my stomach. Not an authentic All-Star or future Hall of Famer before he started using roids (unlike Bonds). I can never forgive him for leaving the A's.

I don't know if I'd go so far as jerk. Damn fool maybe. Gotta wonder if his health problems don't stem from his steroid use.

Who ever said this is ansane

Giambi will become the "poster-boy" for post-steroid-use success. He maintained his composure, under a burden most men would have wilted under, and will find a home in the Bronx in the DH slot. Steroid users, both admitted and secretive, will have his example to point to, as in, "See? It can be done. " Baseball is still struggling with how it should handle guys like him, who definitely used steroids. They won't figure it out until they get a commissioner, which won't be anytime soon. But, Giambi has righted the ship, and is not one of the biggest jerks in sports. He's a story of redemption. A guy who succumbed to temptation, sinned, repented and purged himself. Determination and a postitive attitude can take a person a long way.

well at least he had the guts to admit it after the fact unlike his peers
