The Yankees players have had it hard enough keeping their hair coiffed to perfection, but now Joe Girardi is banning candy and ice cream from the clubhouse. Like a scene from the cinema classic, Heavy Weights, players have been seen trying to smuggle their chocolately favorites past the over-bearing Girardi, or as he is now known, Tony Perkis. Maybe a little “Perkis Power” is all that is needed to get the Yankees past Baltimore in the standings. Here are some quotes from Girardi’s alter-ego:
“Congratulations, you’ve just joined the 76% of Americans who forget to stretch before doing any physical activity.”Â
“Attention campers. Lunch has been cancelled due to lack of hustle. Deal with it.”
“Kids, at age 12, I weighed 319 pounds. I had bad skin, low self-esteem, and no self-respect. Now, I eat success for breakfast, with skim milk.”
