Lasorda was one of those people who was likable , even if you hated the team he represented. Just seemed like a good guy.

My grandfather, a lifelong Sox fan, passed away in June 2014 after several years of health issues. I remember feeling a sense of relief and closure after the 2013 WS. It definitely seemed like that team was keeping him alive. Wonder if the same was true for Tommy. We know he had long term health issues.

Lasorda was a lifetime Dodger -- the first guy I ever heard say the color of his blood was Dodger blue. Pitched for the 1955 world champs in Brooklyn, won a few rings managing LA in the 80s... but his best trait was as an ambassador for the sport. Personalities with the enthusiasm of Tommy Lasorda are the MVPs of life.

Only manager in history to manage a World Series champion and an Olympic Gold Medal team....
