Joe Girardi has been the manager of the New York Yankees
since the 2008 season and boy what a ride it has been. Girardi went from
snapping a streak of 13 consecutive seasons of making the playoffs in 2008, to
World Series champions in 2009, to rough losses in the ALCS in 2010 and 2012,
to missing the playoffs in consecutive years in 2013 and 2014 till today.
Currently the Yankees have a comfortable lead in the American League East
Division and look well on their way to at least contending for a Wild Card playoff
spot in 2015 but you wouldn’t know it if you looked at Girardi today.
On the left is a picture of Girardi when he first agreed to
be the manager of the Yankees and on the right is a picture taken sometime
before the 2015 season. Wow, what a difference. You see a lot of these before
and after type pictures used with the President of the United States but maybe
managing the New York Yankees is just as stressful, if not more, than governing
over the free world.
