Yankees hope to avoid early strain on relievers in the future as Girardi faces criticism over bullpen misuse.
New York Yankee fans across the world will never forget their dynasty years from 1996 to 2001. One of the pinnacle moments that stem from that tenure came at the hands of the current manager, Joe Girardi.
In Game 6 of the 1996 World Series against the Atlanta Braves, Girardi hit a triple over the head of the leaping center fielder to score Paul O’Neill and give the Yankees the lead. While many remember Girardi as that catcher, he is now leaving a different type of lasting impression in the eyes of many fans due to his management style.
