Joe Girardi will crush you with his legs
ByChristening our new Joe Girardi category, let me present to you news from Dan Shanoff’s Quickie. Shanoff, a Northwestern alum like Girardi, shares an interesting story:
In the football weight room, where all athletes worked out … there are lists of weightlifting records, and the only non-football player ANYWHERE was in the squat, where Girardi was the all-time king.
So there you have it; all five feet, eleven inches of Joe Girardi, the new Yankee manager, could out-bench NU football players. Look out, Jason Giambi.
Now we know why NU wins so many football games!
When he was with the Marlins, he put on catching gear and caught his pitchers to get to know them better. I like him a lot.
I know one of the players challenged him to run sprints with them in ST, and he did it.
I heard he once killed a bear with his bare hands just to prove that he could do it. True story.
I heard he had the ability to kill a yak…from 1,000 yards away…with MIND BULLETS.
I am stoked! Spring training can’t arrive soon enough.
While catching, he once called pitches so well that the pitcher struck out Frank Thomas on 2 pitches.
Let’s not get carried away here, I think you’re confusing Sir Joseph Elliot Girardi with his Lordship Colbert Richard Hamels (silent T?)
Mike wins today’s obscure reference contest. Well played sir.
I had a feeling you would get it. You are the obscure reference king my friend.
It’s not that obscure.
That’s telekinesis, Kyle.
I don’t get it?
