Tony La Russa steps down as White Sox manager due to health issues
La Russa, a three-time World Series champion who turns 78 on Tuesday, missed the final 34 games with the underachieving White Sox. He left the team on Aug. 30 because of problems with a pacemaker that was implanted in February.
Speaking in front of much of the organization, including his players, La Russa shouldered the blame for what happened this year. General manager Rick Hahn said Cairo will get an interview for the full-time job, but indicated a preference for someone outside the organization.La Russa, who is close friends with White Sox chairman Jerry Reinsdorf, was a surprise hire in October 2020, and he directed the team to the AL Central title last year.
“The squandering of this year is something that I know individually I will carry with me for a while,” Hahn said. With a 2,900-2,514 record over 35 years with Chicago, Oakland and St. Louis, La Russa trails only Connie Mack on baseball's career wins list. He moved past John McGraw last season.
