The 47-year-old Giambi died Wednesday at his parents’ home in suburban Claremont. A brother of five-time All-Star Jason Giambi, Jeremy Giambi spent six seasons in the major leagues as an outfielder and first baseman with Kansas City, Oakland, Philadelphia and Boston. His best season was 2001, when he batted .283 with 12 homers and 57 RBIs for the Athletics. In college he played for the California State University, Fullerton, team that won the 1995 College World Series.
