Former Dodgers Manager Tommy Lasorda Improving But Remains Hospitalized

For all the success the Los Angeles Dodgers enjoyed on the field this past season, the year has been challenging and heartbreaking off it. Setting the pandemic aside, the organization has dealt with multiple deaths, and scares to Vin Scully and Tommy Lasorda.

In late September, former Dodgers outfielder Jay Johnstone passed away at the age of 74 after a battle with coronavirus (COVID-19). Less than one week later, famed left-handed relief pitcher Ron Perranoski passed away at his home in Vero Beach, Florida.

Back in April, Scully was hospitalized after falling at his home. He made a recovery, joked about the incident, and now is spreading his intellect and storytelling on social media.
