Some very sad news out of Yankeeland. Jerry Girardi, father of Joe Girardi, has died at the age of 81. According to the New York Post's Joel Sherman, Jerry Girardi died on October 6th and Yankees Manager Joe Girardi had been managing since Saturday without public knowledge that his father had passed away. Jerry Girardi had been battling Alzheimer's disease and spent the past several years in an assisted-care facility.
Joel Sherman also reports that Joe Girardi will manage tonight's Game 4 of the ALDS.
BYB sends our condolences and thoughts and prayers out to Joe Girardi and the entire Girardi family.
