It’s hard to think about Orel Hershiser without also thinking about Tommy Lasorda. Orel played under Tommy from 1983 when he made his big league debut with the Dodgers, all the way up until the 1994 strike shut down baseball. Soon after that, Hershiser signed a free-agent deal to play in Cleveland.
But those first 12 seasons spent with the Dodgers were all under the management of Lasorda. That includes the 1988 season when Hershiser put up one of the greatest seasons in franchise history and an even better postseason performance.
