With the rest of the baseball media fixated on Roger Clemens, The New York Times produced an interesting writeup on Joe Girardi and his relationship with his ailing father. He seems completely sure of himself, which is a good thing. Joe Torre was a legend, and there were still knee-jerk reactionists who wanted to run him out of town anytime anything went wrong. These vultures will be very impatient with an inexperienced skipper. This job is not for the thin-skinned.
