JUPITER, Fla. • Former manager Tony La Russa, working unoffically now as a consultant for the Detroit Tigers and officially as a part-time special projects officer for commissioner Bud Selig, will be back in the Jupiter area on Feb. 29-March 2 as a guest of the promoters of the Honda Classic pro golf tournament at nearby Palm Beach Gardens, Fla.
