World Series Champ Turns Good Samaritan

(CBS)  Hours after Joe Girardi guided the New York Yankees to their 27th World Series title, he came to the aid of a distressed motorist who had just crashed her car into a highway wall, according to a Journal News report.

Joe Girardi was driving home from the champagne-soaked clubhouse in Yankee Stadium when he came upon 27-year-old Marie Henry, who lost control of her car coming around a blind curve on the Cross County Parkway in Westchester, NY.

According to authorities, Girardi parked his car on the right side of the three-lane highway and ran across the Henry's vehicle, where he waited and flagged down police officers responding to reports of an accident.

Henry was stunned by the accident but was otherwise unharmed.

Just 15 minutes earlier, Girardi passed through a drunk driving checkpoint on the highway, where Westchester County police officer Kathleen Cristiano - a self-described huge Yankees fan - first spotted him. But Cristiano was even more surprised to see him waving his arms at her when she responded to the scene of the accident.

"The guy wins the World Series, what does he do? He stops to help," Cristiano told the Journal News. "It was totally surreal."

Girardi left soon after police responded, but authorities praised the Yankee skipper for risking his life to help Henry.

"He could have gotten killed," county Sgt. Thomas McGurn told the Journal News. "Traffic goes by at 80 mph."
