Giambi’s bat revives, and Viagra notices

Does the winner get a year’s worth of those little blue pills?

"Coming into the season, Jason Giambi had no idea what to expect, on or off the field. After the first two months, things didn’t look great for the first baseman, but he was among the best hitters in the American League over the final four months, which earned him the AL Comeback Player of the Year Award presented by Viagra."

========================================

So, the man who supplemented his natural abilities with a now-banned substance is getting an award from the maker of a product which enhances the natural abilities of a different type of "Silver Slugger".  Brilliant!

I guess this makes Raffy Palmeiro the odds-on favorite for the award in 2006.  But then again, his shilling for Viagra probably gave him an inside track to begin with.
