A special message for Tony La Russa and the Cardinals, who are fast becoming this decade's version of the Atlanta Braves -- dominant pitching, great lineup, multiple playoff appearances, one World Series title (Yes, I know. The Yankees will be right there with them unless they win it all this year). Click here for a fine snippet of baseball movie lore.
By the way, La Russa and Bobby Cox are third and fourth, respectively, in all-time managerial wins. They have nearly 5,000 regular-season victories and dozens of postseason wins between them. Cox has managed for 28 years and has one World Series title. La Russa has two titles in 30-plus years. Cox is hanging it up after the 2010 season, no ifs, ands, buts or regrets about it. Maybe it's time La Russa walked away gracefully, too.
