Joe Girardi talks managing mantra, family and Yankees’ expectations

Yankees manager Joe Girardi took a timeout in the middle of a pennant race for some Q&A with Post columnist Steve Serby.

Q: Are you hungry, driven, desperate to win your second World Series here as a manager?
A: Always. If we had won six, I’d be hungry for my seventh.

Q: Why do you think that is?
A: Because it’s just the competitive spirit that I have.

Q: Where does that competitive spirit come from? Your mom? Your dad?
A: Both. And I think having older siblings, and fighting for everything.
