Tommy Lasorda managed the Los Angeles Dodgers for 20 years. His teams won two World Series titles, four National League championships, and his teams won eight division titles. His number was retired by the Dodgers and he became a Hall of Fame inductee based on his success as a manager.

Here he is on Conan O'Brien
At 93 he lived a long life most of it spent in baseball. Baseball lost a legend. He will be missed by his family, friends and fans.

The Braves were in the National League West until 1993, so they played the Dodgers 18 times a year. Tommy was the manager, and as much as we hated (so to speak) his team, people loved Tommy. The guy lived and breathed baseball.
