The Los Angeles Dodgers continue to mourn the death of Hall of Fame manager Tommy Lasorda, who spent more than seven decades in the organization holding various roles. He first joined the Dodgers in 1948 after being selected from the Philadelphia Phillies in the Minor League Draft.
Lasorda enjoyed three stints with Brooklyn as a player and made his MLB debut in 1954. In parts of two big league seasons with the Dodgers, he pitched to a 7.62 ERA across eight games. Lasorda also saw time with the Kansas City Athletics in 1956.
Lasorda famously was optioned as a corresponding move to the Dodgers calling up Sandy Koufax.
