Chicago Cubs Manager Lou Piniella Retires Sunday
Chicago Cubs manager Lou Piniella officially retired Sunday after the team’s 16-5 loss to the Atlanta Braves.
Piniella, whose career has spanned 48 years, finished with an overall record was 1,835-1,713. He trailed only Tony La Russa, Bobby Cox and Joe Torre in victories among active managers.
Piniella's record with the Cubs was 316-293. During his tenure, Chicago won consecutive NL Central titles in 2007-08, but missed the playoffs last year.
In 18 years in the majors as a player -- he had a .291 career batting average -- and another 23 as a manager, Piniella made five trips to the World Series and has three championship rings. He began his professional playing career in 1962.
A right-handed outfielder, he was the AL Rookie of the Year in 1969 after batting .282 with 11 homers and 68 RBIs with the Royals. He was traded to the Yankees in 1973 and ended his playing career with New York in 1984.
Chicago named third base coach Mike Quade as interim manager for the remaining 38 games of the season, starting Monday at Washington.
Quade coached in the Cubs' organization for eight years. He was the manager of Triple-A affiliate Iowa from 2003-06 before joining the Cubs. Quade has also served as a minor league manager in the Nationals, Phillies, and Athletics organizations.
