Every once in a while, I am reminded that Tony La Russa is the manager of the Chicago White Sox in the year 2021. It’s been five months since his hiring was announced and I’m still trying to wrap my head around it. In an era of Major League Baseball that has seen clubs turn to the likes of Rocco Baldelli, David Ross, and Aaron Boone in a bid to bridge the generational gap and connect with today’s younger players, the White Sox handed the managerial reins to a 76-year-old Hall of Famer who retired a decade ago after winning his third World Series.
