Joe Girardi was in the MLB for 15 years playing as a catcher for teams like the Chicago Cubs, Colorado Rockies, New York Yankees, and the St. Louis Cardinals. Joe was a fantastic player and an even better one during the 1990s when he was with the Yankees. During those years he won 3 World Series rings and served as a catcher for both Dwight Gooden’s no hitter and David Cone’s perfect game. Sometimes it wasn’t his playing that he should’ve stayed with the Yankees for it was when he became a manager during the 2008 season. He was the Yankees manager from 2008 all the way until 2017. While he only won one American League championship and one World Series title he had many seasons where his winning percentage was over .500, and it wasn´t by a little bit it was sometimes way over .500. He was as great as many said and people were amazed when he was fired, but everything happens for a reason and there isn’t anything Joe could have done to stop it. It was because he wasn’t close enough with the players for the reasons why he was fired, but after being there manager for 10 years there had to be more of a reason than being because he wasn’t close enough with them. When he finished he had 988 wins and 794 losses after his 10 seasons with the Yankees. By looking at all of his stats this is why Joe Girardi should´ve stayed the head manager for the New York Yankees.
