LaRussa, Cox and Torre are getting up there among the all time leaders in games managed, and may have a shot at topping a record set on April 23, 1950, when the Red Sox, behind Mel Parnell, beat the A's 12-2 in a one-hour-45 minute game before 14,000 fans in Boston. When Connie Mack and Joe McCarthy handed in their lineup cards for game two of that double-header, they had managed 11,042 games between them. LaRussa and Cox could reach that milestone, if still in the same league, in late 2017. LaRussa would be 73 and Cox 76.
