Baseball and Dodgers nation lost a true icon in the game on Thursday night. Thomas Charles “Tommy” Lasorda was one of the game’s loudest voices and biggest characters throughout his near 76 years in and around it.
As we mourn in the wake of the loss of a legend, some of the many great stories from the people he touched around the world are being shared. Perhaps none bigger right off the bat than the only other Dodger that can carry the same legendary status as Tommy. Hall of Famer Vin Scully shared his thoughts on the passing of Lasorda in a statement released by the Los Angeles Dodgers.
