He and Billy Martin were two great managers. When they got pissed it was in its entirety.

I am not a dodger fan but I always liked Tommy. Seemed to be a straight up guy and patriot.

RIP uniform 2

Baseball, once America's passtime.

I was a Yankee fan and hated the Dodgers in the World Series, not because they were terrible people but because they were our opponents and were good. Now I hate players because they are bad people dealing in wokism, call me racist and demand my money.

Coached the Spokane Indians (LA Dodgers AAA team) 1969-1971, before LA moved it to ABQ. A great coach.

As a life-long Giants fan, I hated anything or anyone wearing Dodger Blue.
Nevertheless, RIP Tommy Lasorda ... you were a true "giant".

I'll never forget Lasorda's reaction to Kirk Gibson's walk off home run in the 1988 World Series.

He was just as much in disbelief as the rest of us were, but that immediately turned to complete elation.

He attended mass at my church once when they were in town to play the braves. He sat several rows from me. Looked exactly how he looked on TV. Everyone was thrilled to see him.

Lasorda made it easy for a Giants fan to hate the Dodgers.
Those were good days...
RIP.

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.

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