LaRussa won the inaugural award in 1983 along with Tommy Lasorda of the Dodgers. Tony was at the helm of the White Sox. His second award came in 1988 with the Oakland Athletics and would win his third award with them in 1992. LaRussa's fourth and final Manager of the Year Award came in 2002 at the podium of the St. Louis Cardinals. He was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 2014 with his career 2728-2365 record over 33 seasons with the White Sox, Athletics, and Cardinals.

He would get his first complete game ten days later against the White Sox.

They couldn't get a starter to muster 20 home runs, bat over .300, or even have a 12-game winner from the mound.

8. Who was the first player to hit 50 home runs and 50 doubles in a season?

From Quiz Baseball Oddities
