In 2008, Joe Girardi took over as manager, replacing Joe Torre. I remember some of the managers before Joe Torre, but Joe Torre is the stoic manager that made everything alright in the Yankee dugout. As a Yankee fan, I was a Joe Girardi supporter, but he had some huge shoes to fill. Shoes that would take more than a season to completely feel.

Joe Torre spent 12 years with the Yankees, by far the longest time a manager has spent with the Yankees while George Steinbrenner. He won four World Series with Yankees and brought them to the playoffs every year he was managing. He had a very impressive 1173 regular season wins and only 767 losses.
