Yankees manager Joe Girardi is a no-frills guy and a hands-on manager, the kind you might imagine having a bowl of sawdust and steel for breakfast. Instead, he apparently snacks on Cap’n Crunch and Honey Nut Cheerios — dry, because he’s lactose intolerant, and occasionally with protein powder sprinkled on, because he’s Joe Girardi.
Joe Girardi Is A Big Fan Of Cap’n Crunch, And Once Had A Trainload Of It
This made the train with a full load of Cap’n Crunch derailing on his mother’s family farm a fun formative event in Girardi’s childhood.
"My mother lived on a farm when she was growing up and behind the farm was a train track," the New York Yankees manager said Saturday. "When I was a kid my mom's family still basically owned the house. A train derailed and one of the cars was full of Cap'n Crunch. We had so much Cap'n Crunch over the next year it was amazing. To this day I still like Cap'n Crunch. It's rough on the roof of your mouth."
... wait, Girardi likes Cap’n Crunch because it’s rough on the roof of his mouth? He may be doing this sugary cereal thing wrong.
