Gianna Girardi was born just as her uncle Joe’s distinguished MLB playing career was ending. But his continued connection to baseball helped foster her love of it — and she is now starting her career in the sport in one of the cities that the longtime catcher and manager plied his craft. Joe Girardi’s 24-year-old niece is now entering her second season as the in-game host of the Rockies, for whom Joe played three seasons after being taken in the 1992 MLB expansion draft.
