Mike Scioscia decided to step down as manager of the Angels:
Mike Scioscia announced Sunday that he will not return next season as the Los Angeles Angels’ manager.
Scioscia made the announcement after the Angels defeated the Oakland Athletics 5-4 on Taylor Ward‘s game-ending home run.
His 1650-1428 record is very impressive, and I suspect he will go into the Hall of Fame someday for hit managerial skill. It is a pity he is going, as he stressed putting the ball in play, something baseball needs right now. It worked to great effect against the 2002 Yankees, a high strikeout, poor defensive team. As the batted balls found holes, the Angels were able to advance and eventually win their only World Series title.
