The Los Angeles Dodgers organization continues to mourn the passing of Hall of Fame manager Tommy Lasorda, who spent 71 years with the team as a player, coach, scout, skipper, executive or special advisor.
The bulk of Lasorda’s success came as manager, during which time he guided the Dodgers to World Series titles in 1981 and 1988. His 1,599 career wins are second-most in Dodgers franchise history.
While Lasorda is most remembered for his fiery personality and time as Dodgers manager, he made a lasting impact on current and former players as well. Walker Buehler, Andre Ethier, Kenley Jansen, Clayton Kershaw and Justin Turner are among those who have celebrated Lasorda’s memory.
