Phillies manager Joe Girardi and Marlins manager Don Mattingly have been just missing each other for most of their careers in Major League Baseball.
Mattingly played his entire career for the Yankees from 1982-1995, Girardi played for the Yankees from 1996-1999.
Girardi managed the then-Florida Marlins in 2006. Mattingly was hired as the Miami Marlins manager in 2016. Both were All-Stars, and both have won NL Manager of the Year.
