This picture was taken by my father during Girardi’s playing days on the Yanks, from the 1996 season when he wore #45 for a period of time (switching with Cecil Fielder). My father was seated in friends’ seats, right up close, and managed to time this one perfectly. In the pre-digital camera age, no less! This is a scan of the picture, so the quality isn’t perfect, but it’s a classic. I’m sending a copy to Girardi, hoping he’ll remember this and sign it for my boys.
HIM remembers it hurt as much when HE took as it does looking at it today…one of HIS best!!!
