I said, “but I’m Italian.”
And that was the end of that conversation.”
Tommy Lasorda –
MLB pitcher, manager, Slim Faster.
September 22, 1927 – January 7, 2021.
Aged 93 years.
Most recognized for: When Tommy wasn’t running the Dodgers or making pointless TV show & commercial cameos, he was choking down meatball sandwiches and having heart attacks. It was a busy gig, but he owned it… for 93 years… right up to less than 2 hours after the DRCDP’s 2021 list submission cut-off.
