Former manager Tony LaRussa, who hasn’t worn a baseball uniform since 2011, apparently would be willing to re-enter the grind if the Sox were interested in hiring a 76-year-old, at least according to USA Today.
Former White Sox catcher A.J. Pierzynski, who has been a TV analyst since his retirement four years ago, told ESPN-1000′s David Kaplan he’d “absolutely be interested” in the opening.
No word yet from former first baseman Paul Konerko, but what Sox fan wouldn’t want to see Paulie back on the South Side with a push-button team to manage?
Suffice it to say the Sox will have plenty of candidates to choose from, and already have narrowed the list down to anybody but Ozzie Guillen, the only man alive to have managed the franchise to a title.
