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.

Correct. My truck drivers were gassing up at Orangethorpe and Brookhurst when ol' Tommy pulled in to do the same.

He was one-of-a-kind.

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.
