A thank-you to my pal Jobathenut...

...for sending me,completely out of the blue,this sweet Giambi 2001 A's SGA Bat Day bat (far nicer than the later Yankees one-check out that crappy printing!).Thanks for the bat and the note Butch...it now resides in the "Giambi Baseball Card" corner of my basement with a lot of other cherished stuff-sometimes stuff doesn't have to be game-used to be cool!

All the best,
Joe

Haha...yup,I love that standup of G on the Harley-last time I saw one on eBay the guy wanted$100 PLUS $25 to ship,so I passed.There's also one of him leaning on a bat holding a Pepsi to promote the All-Star Game in Seattle...good stuff!

Take care
Joe

oh I'll have to try and find the All Star one. I got this one for free from a Pepsi driver back when I lived in the bay area. Jason laughed when he saw me carrying it into the stadium to get signed.
