Joe Torre has made it official: he will be stepping down as the manager of the Los Angeles Dodgers at the end of the 2010 season, and thus comes to a close one of the great managerial careers in baseball history.
It is a bitter-sweet end, though, as after 12 brilliant season with the New York Yankees, Torre leaves the Dodgers without having brought a championship to L.A. in his three seasons there.
To make matters all the more wrenching, Torre's Dodgers reached the NLCS in each of his first two years at Chavez Ravine, but could never get over the hump.
And then of course, there is 2010, which will forever be a footnote to an otherwise brilliant career.
But before we lose the 2010 season to history, let's take a look back at what went wrong for the Dodgers in this, Joe Torre's final season.
