Anyway, being a native New Yorker and lifelong Yankee fan, it was an exciting moment when my favorite non-Yankee player joined the Bombers.

Needless to say, if given the opportunity to create a new handle, it'd clearly be : TheGiambino ;-)
LoL i'm just breakin balls, I actually like Sheff too. Love watching his swing! Yep, I remember the 05 season well, season ticket holder here. It was just a shame that with all that talent, they couldn't close the deal year after year.... and then the Boston thing... omg... knife through my heart, i'm sure yours as well!

Yea, considering you were already a Sheff fan and a Yankees fan, that must've been huge for you when he came aboard!
