Tony La Russa



I was a little surprised to find this TTM return from one of the next class of baseball Hall of Famers. 

Manager Tony La Russa is one of the most successful managers of the recent few decades of Major League Baseball. He has transitioned from a successful on-field career to an executive position with the MLB. 

He signed for me on a 3x5 note card, in blue sharpie, but unfortunately he signed on the lined side of the card.  I can't be too picky.  Thanks to Mr. La Russa for taking the time to sign!

Three Added to the Baseball Hall of Fame

Former big league managers, Joe Torre, Tony La Russa and Bobby Cox, were elected to baseball's most prestigious institution today.  They were all elected unanimously by the Expansion Era Committee - a group commissioned by the Hall and made up of former players and execs including a number of people already inducted.

This brings the number of living Hall of Famers to 65, and the total members count to 303.
