KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- Former major leaguer Jeremy Giambi admitted he used steroids, The Kansas City Star reported Sunday.
"It's something I did," Giambi told the newspaper. "I apologize. I made a mistake. I moved on. I kind of want it in the past."
Giambi, the younger brother of Yankees star Jason Giambi, signed a minor league contract with the Chicago White Sox on Tuesday. While he did not specifically say his brother used steroids, Jeremy Giambi noted a news conference his brother had last month in New York during which he apologized profusely, but did not say why he was apologizing.
"If you don't know what he's apologizing for," Jeremy Giambi said, "you must've been in a coma for two years."

Reminds me of when Ted Williams' boy John Henry was being accused of wanting to peddle his Dad's DNA.
If there
had been a market for Ted's DNA it went away when John Henry himself took a crack at professional baseball. :eyes:
