3,078 games and 19 seasons at the helm of the team has come to an end. An era is ending and new one will begin.
Mark Gubicza immediately posted a heartfelt response to the news:
I want to thank Mike Scioscia for being a great friend, outstanding manager, very good player and most importantly, an amazing person!
