Not Erik Braverman. He grew up in Texas, outside of Houston. Not old enough to have hosted a “Hollywood kid’s club”.
Tommy Lasorda?
Still listed on Dodgers admin roster (at link upthread).
His son, Tommy Jr, died of AIDS. Lasorda denied his son was gay, for years.

Lasorda co-hosted the Baseball Bunch....a kid’s club/show....the series was a 30-minute baseball-themed program airing on Saturday mornings, which featured a combination of comedy sketches and Major League guest-stars, intended to provide instructional tips to Little League aged children.

Ick. What a sicko Lasorda was. However, I’m leaning toward the guy Corey is speaking about is still alive.
Noticed the Baseball Bunch had a kid by the name of John Podesta. Didn’t find any info on him but wondered if he is related to the D.C. Podestas.
