The departure of Angels manager Mike Scioscia has been reported for weeks, but the veteran skipper confirmed his exit as Anaheim's manager on Sunday afternoon after 19 seasons at the helm.
Scioscia has been with the Angels since 2000 and they are the only MLB team he has managed during his career.
The team went 82-80 in his inaugural season and he followed that up with a 75-87 season. In 2002 he guided the team to 99-63 record and its first World Series title, winning Manager of the Year along the way. Scioscia went on to win the award one more time in 2009 when the Angels went 97-65.
