Bob Raissman has the story today of what happens when the manager of the New York Yankees skips a scheduled radio spot with a satellite host best known for tantrums and rhotacism.

Dashiell Bennett — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 11:30:19 EST

Driving home from Yankee Stadium last night, drunk with power (and champagne!), Girardi stopped to help an accident victim, even though each World Series winner is specifically granted the right to run over one pedestrian, no questions asked. [LoHud/Slanch] More »

DENTAL PLAN! (Girardi Needs Braces!)

Barry Petchesky — Thu, 29 Oct 2009 20:00:00 EDT

Take a close look at Joe Girardi's mouth. Why would a grown man wear braces, specifically during the one month of his life when he's most likely to be on national TV? A pretty sweet reason, actually. More »

Ben Cohen — Tue, 07 Jul 2009 11:00:00 EDT

Yankee Stadium Looks To Be Going Down Without A Fight

Will Leitch — Mon, 19 May 2008 11:40:30 EDT

And now he doesn't have to worry: It's gonna be Joe Girardi. More »
