When the Philadelphia Phillies hired manager Joe Girardi, they hired a manager with a winning record – 988-794 (or .554 win percentage) in 11 seasons, including a 910-710 record (.562 win percentage) in 10 seasons with the New York Yankees.

Girardi brings longevity to the team.
His 10 seasons with the Yankees show that he’s capable of producing the results needed to stick around for the long-term.
