He knows that Phat Albert ain't coming back. He would rather retire than go through a season without Albert or in another organization. And there is NO WAY, IMHO Albert would comeback to a LaRussa-less Cards organization.
FROM ELIAS: Tony La Russa is the only individual in major-league history to win a World Series in his final season as a manager.
Bobby Cox, Tony La Russa, Joe Torre, Greg Maddux, Tom Glavine and Frank Thomas will all be HOF eligible in 2014.
IF there was ever a reason to HOLD BACK someone from the HOF, it would Frank Thomas. Without a shadow of a doubt, the biggest douche bag I have ever met...which I saw personally...1st hand for 3 seasons when I worked for the Old Chicago Sportschannel. The way he treated fans and clubhouse attendants and people that did not make the same money he made...it was a joke and downright dispicable!
GREAT for Tony though! I loved his jump/hop on the final out. It was good to see emotion from a guy that barely smiles...LOL! You would almost swear you had no clue he had teeth. LOL!

A persons "Personal" relationship with a player should have nothing to do with making the HOF. Your or any person that has a vote, however, in the Baseball world this HAS hapened.
I think this has a lot to do with why Jack Morris is not in, because writers didn't like him much.
That said, if I were a voter, Thomas would NOT get in,I don't think he's a HOF er at all.
