Off topic, but this is a very cool way of assessing the Hall of Fame Ballot: http://www.beyondtheboxscore.com/2009/12/15/1200949/the-2010-hall-of-fame-ballot
Very cool, but where did they get that picture of Giambi from - and no love for his little bro?
[1] No, no - the question is, Andy Pettitte is Italian!?!?!??!?!
(And Steve Sax? And Smoltz? And Jack Clark? Seriously?)
Here's Jason Giambi's card: http://www.nehf.org/card/giambi_jason.html But... who is the guy in the picture?
Billy Martin was Italian? I always thought he was of Portugeuse descent..Alfredo Manuel Martin (pronounced Mar-teen)...
[5] His father was Portuguese and his mother was Italian.
Martin LOVED being Italian.
