The sport lost an icon on Friday, when Lasorda died at the age of 93. It’s nice that he was able to see his beloved Dodgers win one more World Series championship before he died. He spent his life bleeding Dodger Blue. MORE: Classic photos of Tommy Lasorda The stories about Lasorda are endless, whether it was Tommy telling the tales or others telling the tales about Tommy. And those classic yarns — the time he “fought” the Phillie Phanatic, the time he had a mascot ejected in Montreal, the time he gave a reporter his thoughts on Dave Kingman’s performance — deserve to be told over and over....
