The Dodger thing was an act but he did it well.

Why do I say that?

If you remember in the early 90s, the Giants were packed to move to St Pete.

They had an agreement that the new manager of the St.Pete Giants would be Tommy Lasorda! It was reported as well back then.

I guess Tommy would have been a old Leo Deroscher move.

He was a great showman.

Got to like Lasorda for taking Rau's lip. Rau at that stage was a rag arm but he had a good year, then next.
Remember when Lasorda hired an entertainment coach?

Not sure which is more impressive.

Had to have had innumerable side pieces thru his reign, right? Had to.

TL death makes me think of Cubs / Dodgers comparison on homegrown talent. Sickening how the Dodgers trounced the Cubs in this area over the years. Then the Mike Piazza / TL tie brought up. Dodgers draft a HOF catcher as a courtesy buddy buddy favor.

-A distant relative of Lasorda's and a son of the manager's closest friend, Vincent Piazza, Mike was a courtesy pick in the 62nd round of the 1988 free-agent amateur draft. "I asked the Dodgers to draft him as a favor," Lasorda says. "And, thank God, they did."

I didn't like the guy, but he was larger than life, good for the game, and a link to one of baseball's golden ages.

When Hank Aaron passes away . . . that will be hard to take.

If you remember Tommy's son was trans when it wasn't very popular to be that back in the day. Tommy struggled with it because of the generation he was raised in. But he came to accept and support his son in every way possible.

He was ahead of his time in that respect. Where society was not as open minded to LGBT people and their issues.
