American baseball player and manager

Mike Scioscia

Michael Lorri Scioscia, nicknamed "Sosh" and "El Jefe", is an American former catcher and manager in Major League Baseball (MLB). He managed the Angels from the 2000 season through the 2018 season, and was the longest-tenured manager in MLB and second-longest-tenured coach/manager in the "Big Four", behind only Gregg Popovich, at the time of his retirement. As a player, Scioscia made his major league debut with the Los Angeles Dodgers in 1980. He was selected to two All-Star Games and won two World Series over the course of his 13-year playing career, which was spent entirely with the Dodgers; this made him the only person in MLB history to spend his entire playing career with one team and entire managing career with another team with 10+ years in both organizations.
