Dodgers' Hall of Fame manager Tommy Lasorda hospitalized

Tommy Lasorda, who managed the Dodgers to their most recent World Series championship in 1988, has been hospitalized.

Lasorda, 89, is “resting comfortably,” said Dodgers spokesman Steve Brener, who did not elaborate on Lasorda’s condition.

Lasorda made a prominent public appearance May 3, helping to unveil Vin Scully’s retired microphone at Dodger Stadium. He also participated in the dedication of Jackie Robinson’s statue at the stadium April 15.

He has been hospitalized several times in recent years. He was hospitalized for 10 days last October, missing the National League division series last fall but being discharged in time to attend the NL championship series against the Chicago Cubs at Dodger Stadium.
