According to ESPN:
Hours after guiding the New York Yankees to a World Series championship, manager Joe Girardi stopped along a suburban parkway on his way home to help a woman whose car had crashed into a wall, The (Westchester) Journal News reported.
Early Thursday morning, Westchester County police officer Kathleen Cristiano congratulated Girardi on the World Series win as he passed through a drunken-driving enforcement checkpoint, according to the newspaper. Yankees left-hander Andy Pettitte, who had started in the Series clincher, had passed through the same checkpoint earlier, she said.
About 15 minutes later, Cristiano was among the first responders to a one-car accident on the Cross County Parkway in Eastchester. She was surprised to again see Girardi, this time trying to flag down assistance, according to the report.

Hank Steinbrenner tried to light a fire under his below-par team Tuesday when he told the Post that it was time for the team with the highest payroll in baseball to “earn that money.”
“The bottom line is that the team is not playing the way it is capable of playing,” Steinbrenner told the Post. “These players are being paid a lot of money and they had better decide for themselves to earn that money.”
He went on to add:
Hank Steinbrenner told the New York Post for Wednesday’s editions that he was prepared to fix his Yankees “by force” if needed. That could be taken as a threat toward general manager Brian Cashman, but he said Wednesday he’s staying focused on the task at hand.

Yankee stadium will go down as one of the most memory-filled stadiums or arenas in any sport, ever.
