RIP Tommy Lasorda

3 posts in this topic

He appeared in 22 games for the Yankees' affiliate Triple-A Denver Bears in 1956–1957.

Lasorda was profoundly influenced by Denver manager Ralph Houk, who became Lasorda's role model for a major league manager.

"Ralph taught me that if you treat players like human beings, they will play like Superman,"

RIP Tommy!

He was a fine manager and very friendly when approached.  He's in the Dodger dugout in the great beyond.  On a side note, his restaurant in Pasadena was not very good.
