Jason Giambi is bringing the juice.The former MLB slugger Isaac Whitney Jersey is no stranger to scandals, being one of the posterboys for steroid use in MLB during the Steroid Era. Giambi was outed as a steroid user during the BALCO scandal in the early 2000s and wouldn't i sue a public apology for his part in the ordeal until May 2007.In a recent interview on SNY's "Baseball Night in New York," Giambi laid out exactly where PEDs and sign-stealing fall along the lines of cheating."Everybody is always lookingfor an advantage, Deontay Anderson Jersey Giambi said."Its no different than the PEDs. Theres always going to be things going in this game when youre talking about people making a lot of money and wanting to win."MORE: The first part is pretty accurate. Cheating in baseball isn't a new concept. Babe Ruth allegedly tried to gain an edge by injecting an elixer with sheep testicles. (No, really!)Babe Ruth was an alleged PED user as well (an elixir made from sheep testicles). Bring the hate, I invite it, I will turn your argument inside out.Barry Bonds is the greatest of all-time. Ryan M. Spaeder (@theaceofspaeder) But, there's a problem with the second bit of the quote.On its surface, cheating is cheating, sure. But it's like comparing adonut on a baseball Dan Hampton Jersey bat as one you'd buy at Dunkin' Donuts (orKrispyKreme, if you prefer).That's just about where the similarities end, though. Comparing something individualistic to something that was widespread among a team is unfair. Which is worse is up for debate.As with steroids, there's no straight,unbiasedmeasurement of succe s. Does it benefit a player to know what's coming? Absolutely. Can you accurately, appropriately measure what that value is to a hitter? People have tried, but it's not as cut and dry as knowing a ball over the fence is a home run.To this day the details of just who on the Astros was benefiting from the A.J. Hawk Jersey trashcan-banging ordeal (words that I still can't believe I have Emmitt Matthews Jr. Jersey to write) are still murky. Some players were in on it, some preferred not to partake. It's all a big gray area. At least with steroids, we know Giambi wasn't injecting other players before games. (Or, so we hope not.)Through the years, Giambi has resuscitated his public image while fostering a reputation of being a well-respected clubhouse man and potential future MLB manager. Hopefully members of the Astros are afforded the same opportunity.
