He spent his most productive years with the A’s, slashing .272/.374/.445 with 30 home runs and 124 RBIs over the course of two-plus seasons that saw the A’s advance twice to the postseason, including an AL West championship in 2000. He’s perhaps best known for being thrown out at home plate by Derek Jeter’s cutoff flip during the 2001 ALDS. He finished his career in 2003 slashing .263/.377/.430 with 52 home runs and 209 RBIs.
In 2005, Giambi admitted during an interview with the Kansas City Star to using steroids during his playing career.
He testified alongside his brother Jason and former San Francisco Giant Marvin Benard in the 2011 obstruction case against Barry Bonds amid allegations of performance-enhancing drug use.
