World Series-winning New York Yankees manager Joe Girardi may not walk on water, but he’s apparently one step closer to sainthood in the Bronx.

Not content to simply end the torturous nine-year championship drought for the Bombers, formerly Chicago Joe took time after the celebrations were over last night to come to the aid of a woman in an car accident, lohud.com reports:

The guy wins the World Series, what does he do? He stops to help, said Westchester County police officer Kathleen Cristiano, who was among the first to arrive at the accident scene. It was totally surreal.

Girardi and Yankees pitcher Andy Pettitte had actually passed Cristiano earlier in the night at a drunk driving checkpoint before the Yankee skipper came up on the minor spinout. The driver, Marie Henry of Stamford, Conn., was uninjured and declined treatment, apparently. And there were no charges in what police described as a simple loss of control of the car.

In fact, the only crime was that Henry apparently had no idea who Girardi was:

The driver didn’t know it was him until after I told her, Cristiano said.

Once again, thaaaa Yankees win … Yankees win!!!
