Los Angeles Dodgers great Tommy Lasorda has passed at 93

Famed Dodgers manager and Hall of Famer Tommy Lasorda passed away on Thursday evening at the age of 93. Lasorda had been, until that time, the oldest living member of the Hall of Fame.

According to a release from the Dodgers, Lasorda suffered an unexpected cardiac arrest at his home and was later pronounced dead at the hospital.

Tommy Lasorda spent over 70 years with the Dodgers organization, an unbelievable feat matched only by his 70 year marriage to his wife, Jo. He was able to see his Dodgers win the World Series again when he attended the final game of the 2020 Fall Classic, something he had dearly hoped to witness again in his lifetime, since the last Dodgers win had come when he was still manager of the team in 1988.
