Girardi Clan Does Well
I'm a couple of days late in finding this one, but, Wayne Coffey did an excellent write up on the "Joe Girardi" story in the Daily News three days ago. Click here to read it. This part really caught my attention:
Jerry Girardi, the father of five, had a love of baseball himself, but had his career cut short by the Air Force and a tour of duty in the Korean War. He and Angela raised the kids in a split-level suburban home, opened [Girardi's Italian restaurant] and stressed education throughout. Joe went to Father Sweeney School, a parochial school for academically gifted students, before enrolling in Spalding Institute for high school, along with two brothers who went on to become doctors, and a sister, Maria Girardi, who became a distinguished mathematics professor at the University of South Carolina.
Two doctors, a math professor and a Yankee manager. Not a bad litter. Not a bad litter at all.
