Saturday BP: RIP Tommy Lasorda

On Friday, the baseball world lost an icon: Tommy Lasorda, who died at the age of 93. Lasorda spent more than two decades managing the Los Angeles Dodgers, before moving into a front office role with the team.
The Hall of Famer was a staple at Dodgers games year in and year out, and was beloved by the fanbase. And for the San Francisco Giants, he was a tremendous villain — someone who despised the Giants, and whom the Giants fans hated, jeered, and mocked. You can’t write the story of the rivalry without a chapter about Lasorda.
And for that we’ll always remember him. Rest in peace.
