CLEVELAND — It didn’t take 93 games into the season to understand Aaron Boone and Joe Girardi don’t share the same personality gene. Publicly, Boone keeps a cool front even when presented with some of the dumbest questions ever asked. Girardi wasn’t as patient, often giving terse answers to questions he didn’t like.
It doesn’t make Boone a better manager than Girardi, who won a World Series title in his second year at the helm of the Yankees, 910 regular season games in 10 years and wasn’t asked back after taking the Yankees to Game 7 of last year’s ALCS against the Astros, which they lost.
