White Sox manager Tony La Russa cleared to watch as A’s honor Dave Stewart, but not to manage
La Russa managed Oakland from 1986-95, a stretch during which the A's made the playoffs four times and the World Series three times, winning once in 1989.
" gave his heart and soul to this club and our Oakland community," A's president Dave Kaval said."It seems fitting that Dave wore Rollie Fingers' number. We retired Rollie's No. 34 in 1993, and we are proud to add Stew's No. 34 to honor and celebrate his incredible contributions to our club." Left-hander Cole Irvin is scheduled to get the ball for Oakland in the series finale. He's faced the White Sox just once in his career, earning a win after limiting them to three runs in six innings in a 5-4 road victory last season.
