The Los Angeles Dodgers had a celebratory first home series of the season, beginning with a World Series ring ceremony last Friday and followed by tributes for Tommy Lasorda and Fernando Valenzuela, respectively, over the next two days.
The Lasorda celebration featured a video of Dodgers manager Dave Roberts along with Clayton Kershaw, Corey Seager and Justin Turner, among others, sharing their memorable interactions with the Hall of Famer.
Turner again shared his first encounter with Lasorda at Camelback Ranch during 2014 Spring Training. It entailed Lasorda putting Turner in a chokehold while he sat in a therapy pool, and a good laugh after.
