As if earning the distinction of managing a team to a World Series victory wasn't enough, Yankees manager Joe Girardi acted as a Good Samaritan on Thursday morning.

 

Hours after guiding the Yankees to a World Series title, Girardi came to the aid of a 27-year-old woman involved in a car crash on the Cross County Parkway in Westchester County, N.Y.

 

Around 2:25 a.m. Thursday, a car driven by Marie Henry skidded off the road as it was going around a curve and struck a wall. The driver was left stunned, but was otherwise uninjured, according to a report by the Journal News.

 

Girardi was the first to arrive on the scene. He stopped his car across the highway and crossed three lanes of traffic to reach the vehicle and check on the condition of its passenger.

 

As police arrived near the scene, Girardi signaled to get their attention by jumping and waving his arms. Once they were there, Girardi said he had to leave, though not to make another pitching change.

Can a mod fix his name in the title? I can't edit it.

Done.

 

Heard about this on The Fan this morning. Props to Joe; though he always struck me as one of the more level-headed baseball people, so I'm not surprised.

27 year old... around 2:25am (probably 2:27)

 

conspiracy theory

That's a nice thing to do. Hopefully it wasn't just a publicity stunt. (not saying the accident was fake, but maybe the thought of publicity came into Joe's head when he saw it) But Joe always seemed like a nice guy.

 

Also, anyone hear about Girardi changing his uniform # to 28?

Good for Joe.

Joe is like Chuck Norris, he can do it all. Needs to learn when It's too late to put a starting pitcher back in a game after a long rain delay, though.

All that matters is he did the right thing, so props.
