Although I was never that big a fan of his (as everyone knows), I had my favorite Tommy Lasorda moments.

He is up there, 93 I think, and he is kind of heavy. Wish him well.

Hall of Fame manager Tom Lasorda still hospitalized, but condition has improved
Associated Press
November 24, 2020
FULLERTON, Calif. – Hall of Fame manager Tom Lasorda’s condition has improved while he remains hospitalized in Southern California.
Los Angeles Dodgers spokesman Steve Brener said Tuesday that the team’s 93-year-old former manager has been taking online calls from former players and coaches at a hospital in Orange County. Lasorda lives in Fullerton. The team first announced he was hospitalized on Nov. 15.
Lasorda attended the team’s Game 6 victory against the Tampa Bay Rays on Oct. 27 in Texas that clinched the Dodgers’ first World Series title since 1988.
Lasorda had a record of 1,599-1,439 while managing the Dodgers from 1976-96, guiding them to World Series championships in 1981 and 1988. The franchise won four National League pennants and eight division titles under Lasorda.
He had a heart attack in June 1996 and retired from managing the Dodgers the following month.
He was elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1997 and is the sport's oldest living Hall of Famer.
In 2000, Lasorda managed the U.S. Olympic baseball team to a gold medal at the Sydney Games.
In 2012, Lasorda was hospitalized in New York after having a heart attack.

In 2012, Lasorda was hospitalized in New York after having a heart attack. After Lasorda had his first heart attack when he was forced to retire and I think it was Bill Russell who took over. The cardiologist told Lasorda he had an Italian heart, and they're exceptionally strong. That must be true cos he had another attack in '12 when he was 85 and it might have been another one now that he's hospitalized. They're tight lipped about why he's there, but being so obese, he's a walking miracle at 93. The Lasorda era was my fav Dodger era, despite the Dodger teams not as good as today, obviously. I wish he could still be managing. |

The incubation period would be perfect if it was Covid related.
