After Sunday’s game against the Braves, Piniella got tearful talking to reporters about his tenure with the Cubs.
PINIELLA: These are nice people here and they’re nice fans and I was very appreciative, very moved, very touched.
The Cubs report Piniella ends his baseball managerial career as the 14th winningest manager in the league’s history.
