Yankees manager Joe Girardi is showing his Super Bowl spirit.

The four-time World Series champ on Friday donated 1,000 Giants NFC Championship hats to the Children's Alopecia Project.

Alopecia is an incurable auto-immune disease that causes hair loss.

Girardi encouraged the children not to let their disease stop them from just being kids.

"They're beautiful. You know, you're part of a team. You have a disease that not every child has, but that doesn't make you any different. You want to run, play and jump and play sports, that's great," said Girardi.
