 Joe Giordi spent 10 years as the Yankees manager he spent a lot of time in that home dugout I asked him if it was a little odd walking into the visitor's clubhouse today That's just somewhat awkward in and of itself because that's not something that I really did for 10 years I always came in through the garage down the stairs into the home clubhouse And this we came through the loading dock and you know from center field all the way around so that was different I did see a lot of familiar faces in Luke Akusa and his clubhouse staff So that seemed kind of normal, but you're on the opposite side and it's different What is the reunion been like between you and Dede your glorious and a couple other former Yankees as well It's been good. It's great having Dede on our team. He's played extremely well, especially in this this 2.0 as we call it And and I think he's grown really fond of his teammates and his teammates love him You know as you said, there's some other Yankees that we've have in camp You know what Tareas is here and everyone loves toe I mean, how can you not love toe and the energy that it brings and him and Gene Segura have a great banter going on During every inner squad game that we have so it's been enjoyable having the guys on the team I'm just curious as much as the separation has been just walking back into the building Bring back emotions that you didn't anticipate. Well, how do you kind of make that separation? Yeah, I think it will probably come out a little bit more during the game, you know when you're in a clubhouse It's different than being on the field. It's like you're in you're in a room, right? But I'm sure there'll be some emotions. I mean, I have you know 14 really really really 15 really fun years of being here whether I was a player a coach or a manager and They were the great days and a great part of my life. So there's there's really a lot of fond memories Joe Girardi's face won't be the only familiar one in that Phillies dugout check out the number of players who used to wear Yankee pinstripes now donning red and white including Dee Dee Gregorius, he was a fan favorite when he was in the Bronx He spent five seasons with the Yankees including to with manager Aaron Boone Dee Dee's one of those guys that brings a smile to your face and Plays the game hard He's tough. He's a really good player and You know, I just think about I You know even when I was from afar before I got here You know, I followed his career pretty closely and you know to know the situation he walked into here following Derek Jeter You know knowing how his career started that first month where he had his struggles that that could have easily buried a you know a lesser person or player it it almost made him better and he was a really good Yankee while he was here and Got a lot of big hits and and Was it a really important part of some really good teams?
