After winning this third World Series ring, Cardinals manager Tony La Russa has decided to retire from managing. He made the announcement at a press conference Monday morning.
La Russa, 67, has been a manager for the past 33 seasons, having stints with the White Sox, A’s and then Cardinals. He won the AL Manager of the Year three times and the NL Manager of the Year once. He won 11 division titles and twice took the wild card. He was at the helm for six pennants (three with the A’s, three with the Cardinals) and three World Series championships (1989 with the A’s; 2006 and 2011 with the Cardinals). His 70 career postseason wins are second to only Joe Torre, and La Russa’s 2,728 regular season wins are third in history, behind only Connie Mack and John McGraw.
