Hall of Fame manager and Los Angeles Dodger icon Tommy Lasorda dies at 93
Tommy Lasorda, the charismatic former manager of the Los Angeles Dodgers who maintained a relationship with the franchise as a player, coach, manager and executive for 71 seasons, has died at the age of 93.
"I'll never want to take off this uniform,'' Lasorda told USA TODAY Sports in a 2014 interview. "I want to keep working for the Dodgers until the day I die. That's the truth."
And that's exactly what he did.
Lasorda suffered a sudden cardiopulmonary arrest at his home at 10:09 p.m. on Thursday. He was transported to the hospital with resuscitation in progress. He was pronounced dead at 10:57 p.m.

Sorry to hear this.
Even as an Astros fan, I have to admit that it was hard not to like him.

Re: RIP Tommy Lasorda
If there was ever anyone who was truly the "face of the franchise", it had to be Tommy Lasorda of the Dodgers.
I felt the change
