Talk:Jason Giambi

message: I don't think the introduction's reference to steroid use should mention his apology, there's no call to write this - "Giambi is also known to have taken performance-enhancing drugs during his career but has indicated he stopped and has apologized recently for past steroid use." At the moment the way this is worded breaches the neutral point of view requirement of articles in my view, because it sounds as though we're excusing his behaviour. Are there any objections to removing (or at least rewording) the second part of this sentence? For instance it could state "Giambi is also known to have taken performance-enhancing drugs during his career, an action he has publicly apologised for". At least this wouldn't make the sentence sound like we're excusing his actions. Blankfrackis 09:39, 18 September 2007 (UTC)

WAIT: What's this about "Rodrigo" and cold cuts?! Had never heard this, and could not verify by search. A joke, I presume?!  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.96.164.75 (talk) 06:11, 12 September 2007 (UTC)

message: hahaha, how many home runs has Giambi hit? Why is there a picture of him hitting a pop-up? I say we change that to something a little less funny.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.226.87.148 (talk • contribs) 
:Giambi has hit 36 home runs this season, and 349 in his career. It really doesn't matter what picture is there. It's fine as it is. --Nishkid64 21:36, 24 August 2006 (UTC)

replies: text: He does both, but he usually Designated Hits as his glove in the field is seen as a liability. --Michael Greiner 11:30, 18 November 2007 (UTC)

message: What is the standard for determining what pronunciation is official for Wikipedia?  It's true that /dʒiˈɑːmbi/ is how it is usually said. However it is also true that /ˈdʒɑːmbi/ is both the "correct" pronunciation and also the pronunciation Giambi himself uses.  Giambi has stated this clearly (and also stated that he doesn't really care, which is why the mispronunciation persists).  This is attested in print, for example, in this interview with Yankees announcer Bob Sheppard: http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m0FCI/is_11_63/ai_n6355442/
Any opinions on how Wikipedia should treat this?  Edit it to /ˈdʒɑːmbi/?  List both?  Add an explanatory note in the text?  I don't think the article as it exists is satisfactory, since it's essentially promulgating a pronunciation which is incorrect. Iglew (talk) 02:27, 24 November 2009 (UTC)
