Tony La Russa will manage against his former team for the first time when the Chicago White Sox welcome the St. Louis Cardinals on Monday night to begin a three-game series.
La Russa won three National League pennants and two World Series championships with the Cardinals from 1996 to 2011. He decided to leave the dugout after St. Louis beat the Texas Rangers to clinch World Series title, but a decade later he is back in uniform as manager of the White Sox.
La Russa, 76, has more managerial wins with the Cardinals (1,408) than with any other team. He ranks third all-time with 2,754 career victories, trailing only Connie Mack (3,731) and John McGraw (2,763) both, as he is, are in the Hall of Fame.
