The Giambino

It was throw back night in Colorado last night. Rockies 1B Jason Giambi hit 3 HR's which made people look at the calendar to make sure it wasn't 1998 when he first burst on to the scene in Oakland. Giambi became the 2nd oldest player in MLB history to hit 3 HR's in 1 game, only sitting behind Stan "The Man" Musial. Giambi also goes in the books as 1 of only 4 players that have hit 3 HR's in a game after the age of 40. He joins the Hall of Fame list of Babe Ruth, Stan Musial and Reggie Jackson. Thats some good company to keep.

  1. I think that will probably be the last time Giambi's name is ever mentioned in the same breathe as Babe, Reggie or Stan the Man.
