The Dodgers have lost a member of their family after Lou Johnson’s passing.
The Los Angeles Dodgers have plenty to celebrate after breezing by the Milwaukee Brewers and advancing to their eighth straight NLDS, but the organization is now grieving after the loss of a former player.
Lou Johnson, who spent three seasons with the team from 1965-1967 and played a prominent role in the team’s ’65 World Series victory, has passed away at the age of 86.
