    RIP Tommy. Guy was a colorful character and a mainstay in the Dodgers organization. Champion and HOFer.

    Tommy Lasorda. He will be remembered as the greatest gamer who coached, and played, to win.

    I'm named after an 80's dodger player. Bleed Dodger blue.

    Tommy was like an extra grandpa. Legend.

    Super RIP.

    I met him a long time ago at Mike Piazza's parents house. Only talked briefly with him, but was pleasantly surprised. Not stuffy at all, very easy to talk to.
