[@mygirlpiper]

Tommy Parker Thanks for the insight of your story BUT clearly Lasorta was having fun at the Phanatic's expense, as Tommy fed into his own character " feisty" to matchup with the Phillie Phanatic character causing chaos to entertain the fans ! Love the Phanatic - take care Tom.

Growing up in Philadelphia I always liked Lasorda because he came from Norristown,right outside the city. Even though he managed the hated Dodgers I always secretly rooted for him.

[@jackreynolds9598]

I was watching this game live when it happened and this was no doubt the best part of the game. Lasorda was legitimately pissed (not acting) but everyone else was either laughing or cheering for Lasorda. No fines or hurt feelings. Everyone in attendance got their money's worth for sure! I showed my son this and the first thing he said was "This is great! Did the coach get fired?" because that's the world he's grown up in.

[@muttproductions2536]

RYNO LASCAVIO Yes! I am a Los Angeles Dodgers fan and I cannot agree more. If the Dodgers (or any team for that matter, but we'll use the Dodgers for an example) gets another Lasorda, then the Phillie Phanatic will get his ass kicked every time the Phillies go up against the Dodgers. He asks for it every game!

[@fernandom5150]

Maddon is always getting thrown out lmao

[@muttproductions2536]

@ASS HOLE to be clear, Tommy Lasorda, even in 1988, was a grumpy old man, and even today he hates ALL MASCOTS. His belief is that mascots distract the crowd from the game itself. Proof of this is when in 1988 he had Montreal Expos mascot Yupie ejected from the game. Now I think games need mascots, because after a while baseball, football, basketball, etc can get boring without someone in a furry suit acting like a complete moron for our own amusement. Even though he hates all mascots, Lasorda holds a special grudge against the Phillie Phanatic, because he is the biggest idiot of them all in Lasorda's veteran eyes. The Phanatic's antics are without a doubt eccentric even for a sports team mascot, and Lasorda knew then that what he did to the Phanatic on the field would make for great laughs. But he wasn't laughing; he wanted to rip the Phanatic to shreds. And it's not like it ended there. Several years ago the Phillie Phanatic finally got it's well-deserved revenge against Ol' Tommy at a Dodgers vs. Phillies game and it knew very well Lasorda couldn't do anything to it because a) he retired from coaching the Dodgers (so sad) and b) was too damn old and withered to beat the Phanatic over the head with his cane

[@poolplexer]

If we had another Lasorda in baseball, today's society would protest to ban him forever

Amazing all the comments at here directing negativity towards the Phanatic. As a Phils fan the last 33 yrs, I find this absolutely hilarious--both on the part of Tommy AND the Phanatic! Tommy didn't like people making fun of him ( understandable--the Phanatic also at least once, smashed a Dodgers helmet with his ATV while starring at Tommy doing it! LOL ) and the Phanatic was playing with him ( Tommy admitted this too ) and its a shame that other fans can't see this. LaSorda actually has another video on youtube here where he says the mascot he hated was the San Diego Chicken. No mention of the Phanatic ( AT ALL ) yet fans think because he got irritated by the Phanatic that he took it personal. Grow up people!
