CHICAGO — One of Tony La Russa’s managerial philosophies is “trust your gut, you don’t cover your butt.”
“If you make moves to cover your butt, and they usually don’t work, and you get fired, you’ll never know if you’re good enough,” the Chicago White Sox manager said before Friday’s game against the Texas Rangers at Guaranteed Rate Field.
Those were lessons passed along to him from player/manager/executive Paul Richards. And it’s advice La Russa offers young managers.
