  14. Lefty Specialist wrote: He's my hero simply for going after the Phillie Phanatic with murderous intent. This and the Dave Kingman rant are the stand out memories. Also made Mike Piazza's career possible. Without Lasorda's influence, there'd be no major leaguer named Mike Piazza who was inducted into the HOF. I was actually thinking about Lasorda's advanced age a month ago. Ghoulish me. But I have a thing for keeping track of the surviving 1955 Brooklyn Dodgers, now down to three -- Sandy Koufax, Carl Erskine and original Met Roger Craig. Craig, Koufax and Lasorda were all rookies in 1955. Thank him for Sid Fernandez, too. Tommy didn't like the large cut of his jib and made him very available to us.

  16. Lasorda made a huge impression on me in Spring Training 1975 as part of an NBC season preview wherein he preached to L.A. minor leaguers about the Big Dodger in the Sky and all that Bleed Dodger Blue stuff. As grating as the act became (because, you know, 1988), I always did appreciate his stated desire to have a Dodgers schedule taped to his tombstone so when people visited, they could check to see if the club was in town and decide to catch a ballgame.
  17. Man, that kid could play. Was ready to hand him the keys to the middle infield kingdom after about a month.
