...knew this was out there somewhere...hadn't seen it since a 2005 Leland's auction.Finally,a jersey from Giambi's 2000 MVP season-and not only that,but the one-year style black A's alternate!!

Joe -

Great grab!!! Congratulations!!!

I've been building my rep with the G-Man and am going to ask him about buying his Purple GU Opening Day Jsy, a pair of GU Cleats and see what the odds are of buying a GU fielding glove.

You don't know if you don't ask, right?

Again, amazing jersey... did Jason do all that 'tailoring' to the bottom of it?

Yessir,Chris...that's a G-Man customization..you can find some early 2000's pics of him & Tejada with those hand-cut tails on Getty.You know,it's funny...I was gonna ask you if the Rox still used those purple jerseys as I had never seen a pic of Giambi wearing one over the last year and a half-then I got my answer on the Rox fan forums that it was the first time in 2 years that they've worn them...so I've still got 3 Rox jerseys to go!
As for the glove...I don't know about his "b" glove,but I am 100% his gamer is the one he's been using since day 1 in Oakland-so that might not be going anywhere anytime soon!

Take care,
Joe

Giambi's brother did the same as well, I have a Red Sox ST jersey with a chopped tail like that.

I guess those were the days before you could order them with those "-1" length" alterations you see on jerseys today!
Post some pics of that Jeremy Giambi if you can..never really see any of his jerseys around,which is a shame cause I'd like to get one of his from when he was with my Phillies!
