It's a little unnecessary
but we'll probably get used to it.

Thats Sterlings choice! It could become a trend setter with an Italian last name just making it more personal for the Yankee Fans!

To me it sounds awful..... there was the Bambino, Bamtino... whatever... don't try to give everyone a name with -ino ...
(Karsino.. somehow rhymes with Casino..  ) |

Giambino, Good Nickname or Bad?
I don't like it. For some reason(???), that monicker reminds me of the mafioso..

Exactly. You would think with all the months off, they would've had time to come up with something a bit more original...  |

I thought it was just a cute play on words. Babe wasn't Italian, Joe D wasn't called anything like this so what gives? BTW, I voted it was good.

If he hits two homeruns everyday, they can call him "Big fat pig face" for all I care.

It might have worked for me if we hadn't just said GoodBye to
Bam-Tino... I think it's getting a bit redundant... |

As far as I'm concerned, he's "Seahorse" now!
 Two shots in his first game plus a couple scoops with the leather. Not too damn shabby! Way to go, Seahorse.  |

I don't like the sound of Giambino ! They'll have to think of something else to call him! ( Seahorse isn't bad though!  ) |

Next someone's gonna try and say he has too many canned calls!Picture this - Bernie hits a game winning HR following a game tying HR by Jeter. Sterling- "It is high, it is far, it is....GONE!!!! Bernie goes BOOM!!! Bern, baby, Bern!!! Jeter and Williams go back to back, and a belly to belly!!! And the Yankees win!!! Theeeeeee Yankees Win!!!!!!!!!" Did I miss any? |

I can't help but think that if Kay were involved, he would have said: "Uhh.. that's not hip enough, how about Giambaby?"

I actually like it. I am sure we will get used to after he hits more HRs.

It's a terrible nickname. Giambino? What the H - E - double hockey sticks is that?
