LaRussa retires
ST. LOUIS —Three days after winning the World Series, St. Louis
Cardinals manager Tony La Russa is retiring.
The 67-year-old manager announced his retirement at a news conference
Monday at Busch Stadium.
The World Series win over Texas was the third of La Russa’s 33-year
career. The manager guided the Cardinals to the championship despite
losing ace starter Adam Wainwright(notes) for the season in spring
training and despite being 10 1/2 games behind Atlanta on Aug. 25.
La Russa retires third on the all-time wins list, just 35 behind John
McGraw. In addition to this season, he won championships in Oakland in
1989 and St. Louis in 2006.
