My Take
Joe Girardi is one of those baseball lifers who actually earned every title he held — player, manager, broadcaster — rather than just inheriting them. A catcher out of Northwestern, which already tells you something about the guy's brain, he spent 15 years behind the plate for the Cubs, Rockies, Yankees, and Cardinals, winning four World Series rings along the way (three as a Yankees player in 1996, 1998 and 1999, and one as their manager in 2009). Managing the Yankees to a championship in 2009 in that pressure-cooker city is the kind of thing that either breaks you or defines you, and for Girardi it clearly defined him. I've always respected that he never coasted on his ring collection — he kept showing up, managing the Phillies, moving to the booth — a real baseball lifer who just genuinely can't quit the game. There's something refreshing about that kind of quiet, competent dedication.
