Tony LaRussa, who last managed the St. Louis Cardinals to their most recent World Series in 2011, was named manager of the Chicago White Sox on Thursday. The 76-year old LaRussa got his managerial start with the Sox in 1979 at the age of 34.
LaRussa, with 2728 wins, needs 36 more wins to move into 2nd all-time for managerial wins ahead of John McGraw. Connie Mack has 1,003 more wins than LaRussa.
