Jason Giambi smoked, snorted and injected the competition in the (Alleged) Juicer Round of the Rookie Card Playoffs with a 52% victory over come-backer Barry Bonds, who notched 36% and Gary Sheffield, who managed only 7% of the tallies. Sammy Sosa came in with 4% and Pudge Rodriguez didn't get one single vote. Not one.This brings us to the fourth set of the first round with Before They Were Managers. Check out these old farts' rookie cards and choose your favorite. As always, your favoritism can be based on absolutely anything. Ump-bumping? Base-throwing? Spitting and frothing at the mouth? Screaming psycho-babble? Career ejections? The sky's the limit.
Voting for this set ends Monday, and as always you can vote either here or at our co-host Ian's blog, SOX & Dawgs.

I'm surprised they even had things like baseball cards (or paper, or fire, or the wheel..) when some of these guys were playing...
HOLY CRAP LOOK AT TERRY FRANCONA! He gets my vote without a question. What did his mother feed him? Icecubes?
Ha, Marea! I think Larussa's card is just a drawing.
Wow. Francona looks almost sickly! I have to say I like La Russa's the best, though. It's ancient.
I gotta go with Willie Randolph. It looks like he's hiding a mini-fro under that cap.
And you knew Giambi was gonna dominate that last round. He looked like Flea from the Chili Peppers and then went to overgrown ox.
My my, Terry, that's quite a big bat you've got there.
