“#Joe Girardi\u2019s return to Yankee Stadium filled with awkwardness<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n It began with four years behind the plate, featuring three World Series<\/a> titles and a forever Game<\/a> 6 trip<\/a>le which helped bring the Yankees their first championship in 18 years. It ended after 10 years on the bench, featuring six playoff app<\/a>earances and the team\u2019s first title in nine years.<\/p>\n

Joe Girardi\u2019s return to The Bronx was set to invite emotion, appreciation, enthusiastic applause. Instead, the new Phillies manager returned to silence, as he faced his former team for the first time since his tenure as Yankees manager ended after the 2017 season, one win shy of the World Series.<\/p>\n

Awkwardness was unavoidable, even if 50,000-plus seats at Yankee Stadium were occupied.<\/p>\n

\u201cSometimes, as much as it\u2019s really appreciated, it\u2019s uncomfortable because you don\u2019t really know how to act when you get a standing ovation in the opposing stadium,\u201d Girardi said last week. \u201cI think in a lot of ways, it\u2019s really nice, and I got a lot of cheers when we played the Yankees in spring training [in Florida], but it\u2019s a little uncomfortable because you don\u2019t know how to act.\u201d<\/p>\n

Before another abnormal night of baseball, Girardi didn\u2019t know where to go, taking a series of strange steps to the visiting clubhouse.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s just somewhat awkward in and of itself because that\u2019s not something I really did for 10 years,\u201d Girardi said on a Zoom call before Monday\u2019s exhibition game. \u201cI always came in through the garage, down the stairs, into the home clubhouse, and this, we came through the loading dock from center field, all the way around. That was different.\u201d<\/p>\n

Briefly, Girardi, 55, was brought back in time. He saw longtime Yankees employees. He spoke with Aaron Judge and Brett Gardner during batting practice. He caught up with his replacement, Aaron Boone, while donning a red hat, shirt and face mask.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was nice to see so many familiar faces, clubhouse people, players, coaches, front office people,\u201d said Girardi, who returns for the Yankees\u2019 home opener on July 29.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat seemed kind of normal, but you\u2019re on the opposite side and it\u2019s different.\u201d<\/p>\n

It was different, without his pinstripes, without the fans, without the sounds the stadium is supposed to make. But it was also the same place Girardi spent so much of his life calling home, a field capable of producing emotion like no other.<\/p>\n

\u201cI had 15, really, fond years being here, whether I was a player or a coach or a manager,\u201d Girardi said before the game. \u201cThey were great days and a great part of my life. There\u2019s really a lot of fond memories.\u201d\n <\/p><\/div>\n
