OAKLAND, CALF. — Tony La Russa returned to one of his former managerial homes Tuesday when the Chicago White Sox began a three-game series against Oakland Athletics.
“A lot of memories,” said La Russa, who managed the A’s from 1986-95. “Of course when I was here, they didn’t have that big thing in (the) center-field (stands). Lost a lot of the view, but a lot of good memories and the ballpark hasn’t changed much.”
The Sox played in Oakland for the first time since last season’s American League wild-card series, which the A’s won in three games.
