Jo Lasorda, the widow of Hall of Fame Los Angeles Dodgers manager Tommy Lasorda, passed away in her Fullerton home on Monday evening at the age of 91. No cause of death was given.
Jo was born on March 14, 1930 in Greenville, South Carolina, and met Tommy at a local baseball game in 1949. The two married in 1950 and were together for 70 years until this past January when Tommy passed away at the age of 93.
The city of Fullerton plans to honor the manager on Wednesday with Tommy Lasorda Day for what would have marked his 94th birthday.
