Tony La Russa announced his retirement from baseball on November 1, 2011. “It’s just time to do something else and I know it,” he told the press conference announcing his retirement. La Russa mentioned as possible future activities “maybe buy a minor league club” and “maybe open a book store”.

It seems fitting that La Russa will be going out on top, leading the St. Louis Cardinals to their 11th World Series title with a 4-to-3 series victory over the Texas Rangers which included winning the final two games – Game 6 despite twice being down to their last strike. The Cardinals in fact did not even belong in the playoffs many thought as they were 10-1/2 games out of the post-season picture in late August before passing Atlanta to win the National League wild card berth. La Russa’s guiding the Cardinals to the 2011 title may have been the most impressive of his career – a career which was filled with many highlights and staggering numbers.

Third All-Time In Victories, Exclusive Company

The 67-year-old La Russia finished with a 2,728-2,365 record in 5,097 games over 33 years of managing – the final 16 with St. Louis. His 2,728 managerial victories rank third all-time behind Connie Mack (3,731) and John McGraw (2,763). La Russa’s 70 post-season victories are second only behind Joe Torre’s 84. La Russa and Leo Durocher are the only managers in MLB history to have 500 or more wins with three different teams.
