Tony LaRussa

Since, I last posted, former St. Louis Cardinals manager Tony LaRussa was elected to the Major League Baseball Hall of Fame.  Congratulations to you Mr. LaRussa on your selection.  I was not a big fan of yours while you managed the Cardinals.  In fact I publically was critical of some of your moves such as hitting the pitcher eighth.  But, I do respect you and what you accomplished in Saint Louis by winning two World Series championships.

I wish you had chosen the Cardinals hat on your HOF plaque, but again I respect your decision in not wanting to short the fans of Oakland where you also managed a World Series champion and the Chicago White Sox where you got your start as a big league skipper.

Congratulations on a job well done!
