White Sox Manager Tony La Russa Pleads Guilty to Reckless Driving

White Sox manager Tony La Russa pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor charge of reckless driving on Monday, according to The Athletic's James Fegan.

Maricopa County Judge Ashley Fritz gave La Russa a one-day jail sentence for reckless driving and will allow him to serve it through home detention. During Monday's hearing, which La Russa attended via teleconference, he was ordered to pay a $1,383 fine and complete 20 hours of community service.

The reduced charge comes as part of a plea agreement that stemmed from his arrest in February. La Russa reached the agreement in mid-December after facing charges of driving under the influence.
