Tommy Lasorda HOF speech doctored with misplaced censoring. Very funny.

Met, and eat, with him at Lororda's restaurant in Marchwood-Exton,Pa.
Back in the 70/80ies, great man, good place to eat back then.

Sure did know baseball, always had good stories to tell.

RIP: TOMMY ๐Ÿ’

RIP to one of the greatest managers to ever be in the game.

"I bleed Dodger blue and when I die, I'm going to the big Dodger in the sky," - Tommy Lasorda

When the team moved...my grandfather moved with him.

he replaced the Hall of Famer Walter Alston, who enjoyed great success, especially in the 60's...

Lasorda turned the Dodgers into a national brand by linking up with Hollywood...but couldn't do that without his team playing winning baseball...and finally beating the Yankees


L.A. Dodgers fans mourn his departure, we'll miss you Tommy...RIP
