Giambi’s Mustache The Best?

When Frank Thomas was released by the Toronto Blue Jays earlier this season one couldn’t help but wonder if Jason Giambi was far behind. At the time he was having quite the terrible season.

For the month of April Giambi had a paltry .164 batting average and a slugging percentage of .411, or over .100 points below his career average. Well he’s turned all that around and what has changed? Well isn’t it obvious: it’s that little critter above his lip.

Since May 17 when the caterpillar first showed up, Giambi’s numbers are out of this world. Take a look at these numbers: G = 40, AB = 130, BA = .338, OBP = .419, SLUG = .715, OPS = 1.134, HR = 11.

Needless to say starring in 70’s porn part time has brought Giambi luck. But is his mustache the best Yankee ’stache ever?

Checkout past Yankees who have donned the whiskers and vote on who’s are the best.

    That mustachio is beautiful. Kind of reminds me of Peter North in those old blue movies…….

    I have to go with Goose. His ’stache added to his aura.

    I think it’s safe to say Goose wins it. 44%, not bad.

    I thought Donnie baseball would give him a better run for his money though.

    • Comment on Rangers Trade For Jokinen by Jeff Zachowski
      You're obviously a student of the GOP school of debate, Rob. Why say anything intelligent when you can just misrepresent what the other side is saying and/or falsify what they've already said? First off, I am stating that an inability to judge a move in a vacuum would impair your credibility. It's up to you to decide whether or not that descri […]
    • Comment on Rangers Trade For Jokinen by Rob A from BBD
      You're questioning my credibility to bash moves? I question your ability to judge any moves at all. 2 days after the Rangers made the very obvious disaster of signing Wade Redden to a crippling contract you emailed me and said that the Rangers were making your dreams come true. In another email you told me that you were never more excited about the Rang […]

      Come on, Rob. You wear your Sather Hatred like a chip on your shoulder. You're not the only one around here who hates the guy. But in order to have credibility when you bash moves, you have to be fair on the good ones. Did you ever think that he'd be able to unload the remaining FIVE years on Gomez's pact while not taking back salary beyond th […]

      This is only a good deal because it gets rid of Kotalik. I doubt Jokinen is going to make a difference. I can't congratulate Sather for making up for his own mistake when the biggest mistake, Redden, is still out there for the next five, ?, years. […]
    • Comment on This Week in Rangers Hockey (Jean Ratelle Edition) by Ben
      Jean Ratelle was not only a gentleman on the ice but off it as well. Living in Long Beach, I grew up with the Rangers as my neighbors and Jean was always happy to give the local kids sticks and pucks so we could play in the street. His time with the Rangers was the golden age of hockey. I saw him fight only once and even that he did like a gentleman. No one […]
