Sam's plain hobbit-face grew stern, almost grim, as the will hardened in him, and he felt through all his limbs a thrill, as if he was turning into some creature of stone and steel that neither despair nor weariness nor endless barren miles could subdue.
Sam came to be called this in later years, no doubt because of his skill as a gardener and his use of the Lady's gift to replenish the trees and plants of the Shire after the War of the Ring.

Sam, in turn, waded into the melee with both fists flying and was soon joined by Pippin and Merry, who were never averse to a good fight, especially against hobbits of Lotho's caliber.
Sam's beautiful golden hair - usually an unruly afterthought - had been cut and brushed to its full glory; and blonde hair being a rarity amongst hobbits, it was enough to make lass after lass stop and stare as he and Frodo walked through the hall to Merry and Pippin, waiting on the other side.

 Sam Gamgee   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
Basically Sam is a slightly scaled-down Frodo, but with enough of a difference to make him worth having instead.
But if you play Frodo and Sam, chances are good that at least one of them won't be played by your opponent, allowing you to get the advantages of having a Hobbit out while your opponent doesn't.
Just putting Sam in doesn't do as much good because then your opponent can just put in Frodo (or Bilbo for that matter) and be better off than you, so it's usually best to put at least those two (or possibly three, if you have them) in for this use.

 Encyclopedia of Arda: Samwise ‘Sam’ Gamgee later Gardner
One explanation is that this was Sam's birthday, but an alternative reason is that this is also the date of the Elvish new year (called Yestarë).
It is possible, of course, that both explanations are correct, and Sam happened to have been born on this auspicious day.
Tolkien seems to have added the reference in the Tale of Years at a comparatively late stage - it may represent a correction to the original date (which then remained in the family trees by mistake) or it may be an error in itself.

 CliffsNotes::The Lord of the Rings:Book Summary and Study Guide
Sam’s unhesitating devotion to his employer—readily identified in the novel as love—may seem strange or even unbelievable.
Many critics have pointed out that the relationship Tolkien describes is less that of a hired hand to his employer than that of military aide to his officer; a much more intense personal bond that develops in the field.
Sam’s delight in stories about elves gives him a childlike quality that can be read as condescending, but it also allows him to express the reader’s own wonder and delight at the world Tolkien describes.

 SF-Fandom - Sam Gamgee
JRRT in the Letters tells that Sam and Frodo's relationship was modelled on the devoted soldier servants known as "Batmen" and their officers.
The relationship between Frodo and Sam is similar to that of Lord Peter Wimsey and Bunter in the Dorothy Sayers mysteries, and dare I say even that of Bertie Wooster and Jeeves in the P.G. Wodehouse novels.
The class-cutting friendship between master and servant, and, as Attalus notes, between officer and batman was (is?) a fundamental and understood aspect of British culture prior to the mid-twentieth century.

Sam worshiped frodo, it wasn't really a friendship, it was just adoration.
I would never say that Frodo disliked Sam, but Frodo was a rich gentleman, and Sam was his untutored gardener.
For example, you can't really show Sam and Frodo's relationship in the way Tolkien does, because much of it is seen in Sam's thoughts.
