This is Lasorda’s all time, all time rant. His type is no longer allowed in baseball. Watched the Dodgers sweep a DH from the Reds at Riverfront. Lasorda got ejected after going ape sh!t on the ump so I still had a good day at the stadium.

Tommy lived in a very simple house for many years well after he gained fame and fortune. If I recall right it was in Fullerton. Down to earth guy.
You are correct. My co-worker and friend sold an Irish setter puppy in the 1970s to the Lasorda family at a discount as they were on a limited budget. These were the days when most players and coaches had to find off-season jobs to make ends meet.
I believe when Lasorda became manager in 1977 he moved closer to Dodger Stadium but kept their Fullerton home.

Tommy Lasorda spoke fluent Spanish. When he went out to the mound to speak to Fernando Valenzuela they spoke in Spanish.

Easily one of my top 3 moments in sports I've ever witnessed. The dream of every person who's ever picked up a bat and stood in the batter's box.....Two out, bottom of the 9th, tying run on base, winning run at the plate, full count (bam)
Oh, my! It's a DEEP drive to right center. That's looks like it's gotta chance. It is OUT OF HERE!!!!

Tommy lived in Fullerton, and was seen around town a lot. I never got to see him :-(
