Former Major League Baseball player and manager Joe Girardi said the most disturbing aspect of modern politics is the way it has divided people, including within sport. Speaking to Fox News Digital, he reflected on how political disagreements can affect relationships and the atmosphere around teams.

Girardi, 61, played 15 MLB seasons as a catcher and managed for nearly 14 years. The World Series champion and former All-Star described his views in the context of his long experience in baseball clubhouses, where people from differing backgrounds have traditionally worked together.
