NY Daily News has Jason Giambi as their #10 New York Sports Story of the Year:
Jason Giambi wore many different hats in 2005: BALCO poster child, washed up superstar, Comeback Player of the Year. He was the worst free agent signing in Yankee history, and then, all of a sudden, he wasn't. He was caricatured in the pages of this newspaper as a masked bandit, stealing more of Boss George's cash with every weak groundout, and then that cartoon disappeared. He couldn't hit a lick, and then he could.
