While most of New England and Red Sox fans everywhere bask in the glow of the teams second World Series title in four seasons, the New York Yankees refuse to go away.
It is being reported that the New York Yankees have selected Joe Girardi to be their new manager replacing Joe Torre, who left after 12 years earlier this month. The Yankees have said to have offered Girardi a three-year deal for $6 million. 
Girardi’s only managerial experience came in 2006 when he won the NL Manager of the Year while guiding a very young and inexperienced Florida Marlins team to a 78-84 record. Girardi was fired after that season because he didn’t get along with the Marlins upper management.
The Yankee job came down to three people. Girardi, who spent the season as an analyst on the Yankees YES network, Yankees bench coach Don Mattingly and Yankees first base coach Tony Pena. Both coaches are not expected to return.
Girardi, who wears his hair like Sgt. Hulka, played 15 major league seasons with the Cubs, Rockies, Cardinals and Yankees and played on three World Series winners in New York.
It is unknown how Girardi’s in your face, my way or the highway style will play with the Yankees. This may very well be another reason or Sox fans to celebrate today as Girardi’s style is sure to alienate the veteran leaders on the Yankees.
