HBT: La Russa makes it clear he's not coming back

Prior to the National League?s win last night Tony La Russa was asked if being back in the dugout had him thinking about possibly coming out of retirement, but his response to ?is this a one-time thing?? left no doubt that he?s done managing:

Absolutely. I don?t believe that. I know that. I don?t think the commissioner is going to make this a yearly thing, where I?m going to manage the All-Star game. I think it?s one and out.

So if managing again isn?t an option, what is La Russa going to be doing with his time at age 67?

The commissioner?s keeping me busy. But someday, I?ll work in somebody?s [front] office, because I like winning and losing.

Well, mostly winning.

In the meantime he?s reportedly earning $2.5 million per year as a special advisor to Bud Selig, Joe Torre, and Major League Baseball, which isn?t a bad way to spend ?retirement.?
