Girardi Comes to Crash Victim’s Rescue on Way Home
The Slanch Report —
... woman didn’t know who Girardi, dressed in a t-shirt and jeans was until after he had left and police told her. The police were even more impressed because crossing the highway in that area is extremely dangerous, “He could have gotten killed,” county Sgt. Thomas McGurn said.
I’m not a Girardi fan in any way, but it’s not often the winning manager of the World Series stops and helps a fellow traveler at 2:15 in the morning. Well done Joe.

I don’t want to see complaints about Girardi. Ever. Again. Until April.
Check this out.
On his way home from the World Series, Girardi stopped to help the victim of a car accident–and could have very well risked his life doing so.
It’s one thing to be a good manager. There are many good managers in baseball and good coaches in other sports.
It is entirely another thing to be a good man.

The Yankees and the DUI checkpoint
The Hardball Times —
This story is mostly about Joe Girardi helping an accident victim on his way home from the ballpark last night, but this is all kinds of fun:
Police were in the area conducting a driving while intoxicated checkpoint on the parkway. In fact, about 15 minutes earlier, Girardi had passed through a driving while intoxicated checkpoint on the parkway. Cristiano, who was working the checkpoint, congratulated him on his first win as a manager and waved him through. He hadn't been the only Yankees member to pass by the checkpoint. Pitcher Andy Pettitte also passed through earlier.
"He came through with a smile," Cristiano said.
Cristiano, a self-described huge Yankees fan, said she hadn't expect ...

... Put yourself in Joe Girardi’s shoes. After missing the playoffs for the first time in 13 seasons, you lead your team to a World Series title. It’s after 2 a.m., and you’re on your way home to your wife and children (though they’re almost certainly sleeping). But on the way home, after a DUI checkpoint, you see a car crashed into a wall on the highway. What do you do? If you’re Joe Girardi, you stop and make sure everything’s all right. Not only that, but you run across the highway to do so. What a guy, that Joe Girardi. ...

Oh What a Save By Girardi!
Walkoff Walk —
As if having the gumption (and resources) to go an entire postseason with a three-man rotation wasn't enough for Yankees manager Joe Girardi, he had to go and play the role of real-life hero by coming to the aid of a motorist in need. A lady driver from Connecticut, naturally:
On his way home from winning the World Series, Yankees Manager Joe Girardi stopped to help a woman who had lost control of her car on the Cross County Parkway and crashed into a wall.
The area is notorious for its blind spots, and Girardi, who had parked his car along the right side of the parkway, and then run across the traffic to get to the injured motorist, put his life at risk, police said.
"He could ...

After World Series win, Joe Girardi stops to help crashed motorist
Big League Stew —
Guiding his team to its 27th World Series championship tells us little about the character of manager Joe Girardi. Especially when the feat is compared to what Girardi did after the party at Yankee Stadium ended. Police say Girardi stopped in the wee hours Thursday to help a motorist who crashed her car into a wall after losing control on the Cross Country Parkway in suburban Westchester County. The crash happened at a particularly dangerous section of roadway, so it not only surprised police to see Girardi on the scene jumping up and down and waving his arms to flag them down, but it also worried them. From Lohud.com: The area is notorious for its blind ...
Joe Girardi, Good Samaritan
Pinstripe Alley —
Have you heard about Joe Girardi's adventurous ride home after Wednesday night's World Series victory? Seems Joe Girardi ended up playing Good Samaritan at the scene of an accident.
Amazing way to end an amazing night.
By the way, Derek Jeter will be on David Letterman tonight.

I think that’s the most important thing we can do in life."The woman, likely a Mets fan, is going to be fine after suffering only some minor scrapes and bruises. The officer on the scene, Kathleen Cristiano, recognized the Yanks manager and said that meeting him at the scene of the accident "was totally surreal."
