Long revered within the Los Angeles Dodgers organization, Hall of Fame manager Tommy Lasorda made a similar impact on those outside the team and beyond the sports world. His passing was met by countless tributes and anecdotes shared by anyone who had an interaction with Lasorda.
The Dodgers paid their respects by placing flowers next to Lasorda’s No. 2 in the retired numbers plaza at Dodger Stadium. They did the same for the seat he watched countless games from and placed his jersey in the dugout.
The Dodgers additionally painted a No. 2 in center field and on the pitcher’s mound, and Dodger Stadium remained lit up overnight.
