Tony LaRussa Calls It A Career

St. Louis Cardinal manager Tony LaRussa announced he would retire, ending a 33-year managerial career that places him third all-time in wins behind Connie Mack and John McGraw.

"Enough of the phone jokes!"

He leaves behind a stunning resume, winning over 500 games with three different teams, winning a World Series title in both the National and American Leagues, and managing more games than any other manager, save Connie Mack.

On another day we might have thrown in snide asides regarding his affiliation with accused steroid-users, his DUI, his dyed hair, his OCD managerial style, his lawyer-esque dialogue, and his overall tendency to just roll his burrito a little too tight.  However, if we ever meet his daughter Bianca, cheerleader for the Oakland Raiders, we'd like to have as pleasant a conversation as possible.
