Last spring Joe Girardi used a pool tourney as a bonding tool that helped the Yankees win a World Series.

This year the manager will do something to bring players together. However, he said isn’t sure what the activity will be.

Suggestions about paintball and bowling raised red flags for Girardi.

“Paintball was one but I didn’t think that was a good idea, guys running through terrain and possibly getting hit in spots they shouldn’t get hit in or falling on a shoulder,’’ said Girardi, who will hold the outing March 2, the day before the Yankees open the exhibition schedule against the Pirates at George M. Steinbrenner Field. “Bowling is a concern as far as a pitcher’s shoulder.’’
