Bobby sent out a heartfelt message this morning saying that Tommy has passed.

Bobby and Tommy were very very close, so its probably legit.

No one else has reported it yet to my knowledge.

Words can not express my feelings. A friend and mentor for 52 years is no longer with us. Tommy no one will ever fill the void you left. Thank you for everything. R.I.P.

Damn, didn’t he just get out of a few month hospital stay? Hopefully he got to pass peacefully at home

He’s been saying for years that he’ll die when the Dodgers win the WS. Well, here we are

He came to LSU several times to help raise money for baseball program when Bertman asked
Big friend of PM as well

Wonder if they let him go home so he could die at home?

NY Post is reporting that Lasorda has passed:

quote:

Tommy Lasorda, who claimed to “bleed Dodger blue” from the moment he entered the Brooklyn Dodgers organization in 1949 and decades later became the colorful and very successful manager of the transplanted Los Angeles Dodgers, winning two World Series titles, died Thursday night.

Lasorda was 93. The Dodgers announced that Lasorda suffered sudden cardiac arrest at his home and was rushed to the hospital. Lasorda was pronounced dead at 10:57.
