Tommy Lasorda has passed away
My Lasorda story... he was making an appearance at Zephyr Field roughly 10-15 years ago to sign autographs prior to a Zephyrs game. I guess it was near the end of his scheduled signing time, when right before it was my turn to get an autograph, he yelled out angrily to one of the assistants, "The line is getting longer!!" I put down my ball, got my signature, and told him "Thank you, sir." He gave me a weird look in response, like I said it in sarcasm. But he's truly a legend of the game.
