In 2004- Tony La Russa became the sixth manager in history to win pennants with both the American and National League. In 2006- when his St. Louis Cardinals barreled through the playoffs and defeated the Tigers in the World Series- 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 managerial record of 2297-1986 by the end of the 2006 season- La Russa is ranked third all-time for total number of career wins- trailing only Connie Mack (3-731) and John McGraw (2-763). He is also one of only two managers ever to be named Manager of the Year in both of baseball’s major leagues.
