After Bobby Cox’s playing days were cut short by injuries, he launched a historic managerial career. Cox began with five seasons as Atlanta’s skipper, then moved to Toronto, winning their first ever division title in 1985. He then returned to the Braves as a GM before switching back to the dugout. In 1991, he began a streak of 14 consecutive division crowns, the longest in all pro sports, winning five NL pennants (1991, 1992, 1995, 1996 and 1999) and the 1995 World Series. Over 29 season as a big-league pilot, Cox garnered 2,504 wins, fourth most all-time.
After a humble playing career with three big league clubs, Tony La Russa found his true calling as an extremely successful manager for more than three decades with the White Sox (1979-86), Athletics (1986-95) and Cardinals (1996-2011). He logged 12 first-place finishes, six pennants (1988-90, 2004, 2006, 2011) and three World Series titles (1989, 2006, 2011). His 2,728 career wins ranks third all-time, behind legends Connie Mack and John McGraw. La Russa retired on a high note after his underdog Cardinals’ seven-game victory over the Rangers in the 2011 World Series.
Joe Torre followed success on the diamond with an even better career in the dugout. As a catcher-turned-infielder, he was a nine-time All-Star, the 1971 National League Most Valuable Player and totaled 2,342 hits over 18 big league seasons. During 29 seasons as manager of the Mets (1977-81), Braves (1982-84), Cardinals (1990-95), Yankees (1996-2007) and Dodgers (2008-10), Torre posted 2,326 wins, fifth all-time. In his final 15 managerial seasons, he led his clubs to 14 postseason appearances. With the Yankees, Torre won six pennants and became one of only five skippers to win at least four World Series titles (1996, 1998-2000).
