Dodgers Dugout: The 25 greatest Dodgers of all time, No. 8: Tommy Lasorda -  Los Angeles Times
Thomas Charles Lasorda was born in Norristown, PA, on this day in 1927 and died in January 2021.

Lasorda broke with the Dodgers in 1954 and played a couple of seasons.   His overall record was 0-4.


We remember him as the manager of the Dodgers:  1,599 wins, World Series champs in 1981 & 1988, NL champs in 1977 & 1978 plus NL West divisional champs in 1983 & 1985.


Lasorda was one of the game's greatest ambassadors.
