John Harbaugh is officially the Giants‘ head coach now that he has sat for Steve Serby’s Q+A.
One of the more interesting anecdotes from his interview with The Post’s columnist: A Baseball Hall of Famer is one of his biggest influences.
“Guys like Tony La Russa. I just think his wisdom is unparalleled,” Harbaugh said when asked to name coaches he admired. “I reach out to him all the time.”
The relationship appears to be tied to John’s brother, Jim Harbaugh. He and La Russa became friends over a decade ago when Jim was coaching at Stanford.
