On June 7, 1995, former Los Angeles Dodgers manager Tommy Lasorda joined elite company with his 1,500th win as a Major League manager. Lasorda’s accomplishment came during a 7-1 victory over the Montreal Expos.
Lasorda is the last Dodgers manager to win a World Series, and he captured two titles — in 1981 and 1988. Lasorda also guided Los Angeles to four National League pennants. The 1997 Hall-of-Fame inductee wrapped up his managerial career with a 1,599-1,439 record.
Lasorda ranks 20th in all-time managerial wins. Recent news surrounding him was of the somber tone, as the 89-year-old recently underwent surgery to replace his pacemaker.
