Girardi Helps Woman in Car Crash After Winning World Series

Wow what a guy. According to ESPN, New York Yankees Manager Joe Girardi stopped along a suburban roadway to assist a woman who had just gotten into a car accident only hours after winning the World Series. Apparently while passing through a sobriety checkpoint Girardi was congratulated on the Yankees victory by Westchester police officer Kathleen Cristiano. Shortly thereafter Cristiano was one of the first people on the scene of the accident where 27 year old Marie Henry of Stratford, CT had crashed her car into a wall. According to the report Girardi was flagging for help when officer Cristiano arrived on scene.

“The guy wins the World Series, what does he do? He stops to help. It was totally surreal.” — Westchester officer Kathleen Cristiano

I have to say, this is a very classy move on Mr. Girardi’s part. I mean every single day we pass stranded and sometimes hurt motorists along the road without hesitation. Here’s a guy who just won the biggest accomplishment in all of baseball and was probably on his way to celebrate, yet he still manages to stop to help a fellow citizen. People should take a lesson from this.
