While I hated the Dodgers growing up, I had a soft spot for Lasorda. He loved the game, and was always a joy to listen to in any interview. We need more people like Lasorda in the game now. He will be missed.

We can thank him for the Paul Konerko trade that ultimately netted the Reds Griffey, Jr.

Lasorda was a personality that brought positive attention to baseball. RIP.

Sad news.
A great ambassador for baseball. Sad news.

For me at least, he was always one of those managers you loved to hate, but at the same time had respect for. I loved going to Reds-Dodgers games more than any just because I enjoyed booing him whenever he walked out of the dugout.
I'm sad he's gone. RIP

Who makes up the Dodgers' Mount Rushmore?
I've got Robinson, Lasorda, and Koufax. Who else? Snider? Kershaw? Hersheiser?

Hall of Fame broadcaster Vin Scully on Tommy Lasorda: "His heart was bigger than his talent and there were no foul lines for his enthusiasm.” #Dodgers

Good call. I was going to say Drysdale or Wills. As long as it isn't Garvey. Probably one of my most hated players.
Loved watching Lasorda and his rants. RIP
Tommy could turn the air blue with the best of them.

Very definitely NSFW or young ears.

Perfect. Didn't even think to consider him.
