  A Winning Combination
Joe Girardi

Joe Girardi, C
When Girardi was traded to the Yankees from the Colorado Rockies two years ago, he brought catching skills and post-season experience. For New York, this combination turned out to be not only valuable but also timely. During the 1996 World Series, Girardi's talent and coolness under pressure culminated in a Game 6 triple that helped clinch the championship for the Yanks.

1998 stats: .276, 3 HR, 31 RBI
