About Mike Scioscia

  • Michael Lorri Scioscia (, SOH-sh?; born November 27, 1958) is an American former Major League Baseball catcher and manager in Major League Baseball (MLB).
  • He managed the Anaheim / Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim / Los Angeles Angels from the 2000 season through the 2018 season, and was the longest-tenured manager in Major League Baseball and second-longest-tenured coach/manager in the "Big Four" (MLB, NFL, NHL, and NBA), behind only Gregg Popovich.
  • 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 MLB 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 places.
  • He was signed by the San Diego Padres and Texas Rangers late in his career, but never appeared in a major league game for either team due to injury. After his playing career ended, Scioscia spent several seasons as a minor league manager and major league coach in the Dodgers organization before being hired as the Angels manager after the 1999 season.
  • As a manager, Scioscia led the Angels to their only-to-date World Series championship in 2002.
  • He is the Angels' all-time managerial leader in wins, games managed, and division titles.
  • Scioscia was honored with the American League Manager of the Year Award in 2002 and 2009.
  • On May 8, 2011, Scioscia became the 56th manager to win 1,000 or more games, and the 23rd to have all 1,000 or more victories with a single team.
