Babe Ruth. Lou Gehrig. Mickey Mantle. Reggie
Jackson. Now, Jason Giambi. New York Yankee history is filled with
great sluggers. #25 can swing the bat with any of them.
Like Don Mattingly and Tino Martinez, the
Yankees last two regular first basemen, Giambi is a leader on the
field and off. While knocking in 40+ home runs year in and year
out and hitting .300, he still manages to inspire his teamates and
raise their game a notch.
With Giambi as its heart, the 2003 New York
Yankee lineup is one of the most devastating forces in baseball
history, featuring gutsy shortstop Derek Jeter, switch-hitting
virtuoso Bernie Williams, Japanese slammer Hideki Matsui, second
base sensation Alfonso Soriano and ball-crushing catcher Jorge
