Joe Girardi was fired as New York Yankees manager Thursday after a decade that produced just one World Series title for a team that expects to win every year. Yankees general manager Brian Cashman made the announcement five days after New York lost to Houston in Game 7 of the AL Championship Series. 28 after leading the team to a World Series victory over Philadelphia in 2009. New York changed managers 20 times from 1973, when George Steinbrenner bought the team, through October 1995, when Torre replaced Buck Showalter. New York beat Minnesota in the wild-card game, then fell behind Cleveland 2-0 in the Division Series.
