Bill? Clinton was? still president when Mike Scioscia managed his first game for? the? Angels? on April? 3, 2000.? Mo Vaughn?? batted third for the Angels that day. Ken Hill was the starting pitcher.

Scioscia’s 19-year run in Anaheim is the longest since Bobby Cox managed 21 straight years with the Braves and the sixth longest in major league history, according to STATS LLC.

For Scioscia, it is enough.

Scioscia, nearing the completion of a 10-year, $50 million contract, is expected to step down at the end of the season, according to major league sources. His decision not to pursue a new deal would be his alone and not the result of pressure from the club, sources said.
