NASHVILLE – Lou Piniella’s time with the Cubs, and his managerial career, ended sooner than he expected. In August of 2010, he’d already announced his intention to retire after the season. But after a Sunday game against the Braves at Wrigley Field, he stepped away to spend more time with his mother Margaret, who was dealing with health issues.
“I cried a little bit after the game,” Piniella said that day.
