News about Tony La Russa

On Tuesday night, Cleveland's Terry Francona and New York's Buck Showalter were named Managers of the Year, boosting both veteran baseball managers' already stellar resumes. Showalter, the third person to win a fourth Manager of the Year award and the first to win with four different franchises in a tight competition, was just the third individual to win a third Manager of the Year award. In 1994, Rangers in 2004, Orioles in 2004, and now the Mets, he won with the Yankees in 1994, Rangers in 2004, and the Rangers in 2004. Hall of Famers Bobby Cox and Tony La Russa are the other four-time champions.

On Monday, Tony La Russa resigned as the head of the Chicago White Sox due to two health problems, bringing an end to a disappointing two-year tenure in the same location where the Hall of Famer began his first stint as a big league skipper. La Russa, a three-time World Series champion who will be 78 on Tuesday, missed the final 34 games with the underachieving White Sox. He left the team on August 30 due to a pacemaker that was implanted in February. Although La Russa was off the team, he was tested for a specific medical condition that had not been previously reported during an annual examination. He was forced to leave the team due to his second health condition. Now that I'm in the therapy program, it's become abundant that the treatment and recovery process for the second issue makes it impossible to be the boss in 2023,' La Russa said.
