My dad met and spent a little time with him during a celebrity tour Lasorda was part of during the Viet Nam war. My dad said he was a stand up guy.

He lived a long and great life. As a Giants fan, I used to boo the crap out of him every time he went to the mound at Candlestick, and I always enjoyed it and him. RIP.

I’ve never been a Dodgers fan, but I always liked Tommy.

Looks like the 2020 inductees into baseball heaven now have a manager.

RIP Tommy Lasorda

Tommy had some good genes to make it to 93.

Loved the crowd at his Blue Bell restaraunt that went by his name, but run by his brother. Had a good run there for about eight years. Nice family.

Many criticized Lasorda for his weight issues, but there is something to be said for enjoying life and what you do to the fullest.
