Tommy Lasorda

I never got to personally meet Tommy, but I've been a fan and an admirer of him and his work for as long as I can remember. One of my earliest exposures to baseball was a little plastic Tommy Lasorda keychain wearing his Dodger uniform, and on the back of it was a button you would push. When pushed, it says and I quote "Hi everybody this is Tommy Lasorda, and I know I've said this many, many times, but we have the greatest fans in all of baseball." I will never forget that because I pressed...

Was honored to be inducted into the Fullerton College Football Hall of Fame with Tommy ( he was honored for his service to the school). Wonderful memories talking with him. A Dodger fan since 1968. He was the best Ambassador that Baseball has ever had.

My husband, then boyfriend and I were attending our first Dodgers game as a couple. We were inside one of the gift shops at the stadium when we came across Mr. Lasorda and Colin Gunderson who were there autographing Tommy’s resent book “My Way. “ We quickly purchased the book and got in line to have him autograph it. Once he did we asked Tommy if he wouldn’t mind taking a picture with us. He stood up and said “Why of course!” He was so warm and gracious. My husband and I always remember that...

Tommy, the Big Dodger in the Sky now has a manager. I will miss seeing him at the games. Truly, Mr. Dodger.

My youngest daughter and I flew from southern Ky. to LA to see Tommy and the Dodgers play at Dodger stadium. That was a thrill for a life time Blue fan. You are sorely missed by the Blue Crew, Tommy.

Amazing years enjoyed by not only myself, my daughter as she grew up watching you early on as the Dodger Coach, but friends and family too. We are still Dodger fans. Condolences and prayers to your family, friends and your Dodger family. RIP .

Tommy you were an amazing man and athlete. May you always Rest In Peace.
