From Kristie Ackert : Joba Chamberlain hopes the training wheels are taken off next season. The Yankees' young right-hander said Friday he understood the team was pacing him for his own good with the so-called Joba Rules, but the competitor in him just wants to let loose next season. "I hope the Joba Rules shirts, hopefully, can be gone for a while," Chamberlain said, referring to the T-shirts that are popular among Yankee fans. Chamberlain spoke to reporters at Yankee Stadium briefly after Friday's tickertape parade. "I know what it takes to be successful in this game and I want to do it for ... Read Full Story

As many, I have had my fill of the “Joba Rules’’ discussion and what it means to Joba Chamberlain himself. If his work in this year’s postseason doesn’t demonstrate why he belongs in the bullpen – and the top in-house option to succeed Mariano Rivera as Yankees closer in a few years – what will? Joba is a great kid who, in the minors in 2007, overpowered hitters as a starter. Then it was decided he could fill a need in the bullpen and, insect attack in Cleveland aside, was sensational. During the 2007 season, he was 2-0, 0.38 with a strikeout/walk ratio of ... Read Full Story

A reliever needs a memory like a goldfish. Sometimes, it's more like an elephant. Sometimes, that's a good thing. Joba Chamberlain yesterday recalled the three-run homer he surrendered to Indians pinch-hitter David Dellucci in the eighth inning . . . more than 17 months before.

After Joba Chamberlain gave up the game-tying homer to Pedro Feliz in Game 4, he remembered some advice Mariano Rivera had given him a year or so ago. "Just forget about it," Rivera told him, "you've got to make your next pitch and get out of the inning and get he guys off the field."  Then Derek Jeter ...

Chamberlain grew up in Lincoln, Nebraska. At age 3, his parents divorced, and his father Harlan, a counselor at the Nebraska State Penitentiary, took custody of Joba and his older sister Tasha. The family lived in poverty, with Harlan often selling his possessions for cash to buy things for the children. Joba served as a ball boy for Lincoln Northeast High School's state championship basketball team, and eventually graduated from Northeast. He did not jump straight to college; to help pay the bills, Joba briefly worked for the city of Lincoln's maintenance department.

Chamberlain's father was born on a reservation for the Winnebago American Indian Tribe, but had to leave to be treated for polio. Harlan spent his childhood in hospitals and foster homes and now uses a motor scooter to get around. After retiring from the state penitentiary, he currently works as a substitute teacher and takes tickets at Cornhusker baseball games. Chamberlain still has family living on American Indian reservations.

According to Yankees television sportscaster Michael Kay, Joba's niece was unable to pronounce the name Justin correctly, pronouncing it as Joba instead and he grew to prefer this name. He eventually had his name legally changed to Joba.

In April 2006 Joba became a father when his son, Karter, was born.
