That is right the Great Giambino was Clutch with a capital C today. He came up huge in the 9th, down by one to crack a two-run game winning home run. It was all set up by a Hideki Matsui single that drove in who other than the great Alex Rodriguez.
I mean just talk abut an absolutely great day for Yankee fans. First you get a huge win to get back to .50 on a Jason Giambi home run and then you draft one of the best pitchers in the draft, Gerrit Cole, all the way at #28 when teams like the Mets wasted two picks by not taking him.
