  • Anthony "Tony" La Russa, Jr. (born October 4, 1944 in Tampa, Florida) is a former American baseball Infielder and retired manager. In 2004 he became the sixth manager in history to win pennants with both American and National League teams; in 2006 he became the first manager ever to win multiple pennants in both leagues and became one of only two managers to win the World Series in both leagues. With a 2,477–2,153–3 (.535) record as a manager (through Apr. 30, 2009) , he is ranked third all-time for total number of Baseball All-time Managerial Wins list, trailing only Connie Mack (3,731) and John McGraw (2,763). He is also third all-time for games managed (4,633), trailing only the above two managers, with Mack leading at 7,755 (3,731–3,948–76), and McGraw at 4,769 (2,763–1,948-58). He is one of only four managers to be named Manager of the Year in both of baseball's major leagues. La Russa has 1,157 wins and 970 losses (.544) with 1 tie [in 1998] as manager of the Cardinals since 1996, through April 30, 2009. He was 522–510–3 (.506) with the Chicago White Sox 1979–1986, and 798–673 (.542) with the Oakland Athletics 1986–1995. His 2,000th game managing the Cardinals came on May 31, 2008 (in a loss to the Pirates), with a record of 1,088–911–1. Some sources give La Russa two extra wins, however; Rene Lachemann is credited with two managerial wins for the Cardinals during the 1999 season while La Russa was hospitalized for an ulceration in his stomach lining. However, the baseball rules give the temporary acting manager no credit for the win (or loss) when standing in for the real manager because of absence due to illness, and La Russa correctly gets the credit for those two wins. On August 22, 2007, he passed Bucky Harris to become the third-highest manager of all-time in total games managed in baseball history in his 4,409th game; behind only John McGraw (Mgr. 1899, 1901–1932 for 33 years; 4,769 games) and Connie Mack (Mgr. 1894–1896, 1901–1950 for 53 years; 7,755 games). La Russa became the leader in wins by Cardinals' managers on August 31, 2007, when the Cardinals defeated the Cincinnati Reds 8–5, passing Red Schoendienst (1,041–955) to take the title.
