The Los Angeles Dodgers family and baseball have world lost a lifetime icon in Tommy Lasorda. The team announced that Lasorda passed away on Thursday night at the age of 93.
Lasorda spent 71 seasons in the Dodgers organization, including the last 14 as a special advisor. His wish to see the Dodgers capture another World Championship was fulfilled this past October when the Dodgers defeated the Rays in the 2020 World Series.
“In a franchise that has celebrated such great legends of the game, no one who wore the uniform embodied the Dodger spirit as much as Tommy Lasorda,” Dodger president and CEO Stan Kasten said in a team announcement on Friday.
