I met him when I lived in Vegas in the 90’s. Had season tickets for the AAA Dodgers team Stars.

So many memories of him being a such good sport while walking down the 1st base line at Candlestick getting showered with boo's as long as he was on the field. He gave as good as he got. One more time for old times sake.

You suck Lasorda!!

Said with the utmost respect and love. RIP Tommy Lasagna, you were a class act and will be missed.

I recall reading that he was the oldest living member of the Baseball Hall of Fame.

I believe that title now passes to Mays?



And a card in his memory:

Maybe a good baseball guy, but not a good guy in my book.

Damn! Not a week into the new year and already three HOF sports figures have passed: Floyd Little, Paul Westphal and now LaSorda. Let's hope 2021 doesn't repeat like 2020 for our sports heroes dying.

That's cool. When I get to the point in my life where I need the approval of a board of card collectors to validate my views on the morality of other people I will let you know. I mean any guy who supports Donald Sterling, screams at Asian American fans who bought tickets to a Dodgers game to go back to their country, and denies his son was gay and died of AIDS is just an all around charming good dude to some folks. Not to me.

Is this the clip you are referring to? If so, I see no screaming? Also, if this is the clip, are you basing your opinion on a 5 second interaction that was suspiciously cut off right after the question was asked?
Could he be leading up to a joke with this question?

This so reminds me of how MSM brainwashes the masses. Fabricate a story that didn't actually happen but if it sells newspapers or gets more people to watch their news on T.V. then the hell with credibility, morals and values.
