Very correct! You could not ask for a better human being who brought laughter and emotions into the sport of baseball. What a true legend; rest peacefully now you have walked through the gates of Dodger Stadium and now you are resting in peace in the blue heavens with your creator.

Tommy was the man and face of the L.A. Dodgers. He leaves behind a legacy that is hard to repeat. Condolences to his family, friends, Dodger fans, and to all Angelenos who grew up in the 80's who watched him lead the Team to two World Series Championships! Tommy will forever be missed!

Tony Gwynn is another. While I never got to know Tony well, I loved him from a distance.

[@joshuabrooks4907]

Tommy holds the record, alongside Vin Scully, for the longest tenure with one team (Both men were associated with the Dodgers for 62 years). His passing is another blow to the sports world. The players he teamed with, and played against, the umpires he yelled at, the announcers he heard, ballparks he played in, all the memories he made, now rest with him. I hope he's comfortable taking all that stuff with him. Rest easy, Tommy. Baseball won't be the same without you. (1927-2021)

Number. 2 Tommy you are a true legend! Your passion for baseball and the Dodger organization made us fans believe in you. You will be truly missed forever in our hearts. “ In order to get into heaven, you must pass through Dodger stadium” the most beautiful quote I ever heard in my life. You brought happiness to me and my family in the 80’s. I still today remember watching games you managed with my hero Steve Howe, Fernando, and Orel Hershiser.

Amazing guy, lucky enough to meet him while training at vero beach. Pulled up in his golf cart and asked if we were headed for lunch. When we got inside he was already at a table and called out for us to grab some food and join him. Genuinely loved the game and interested in the journey of everyone who played it. Every kind word is deserved.

The 1988 world series game 1 will always be my favorite memory of Tommy Lasorda with Kirk Gibson's walk off bomb

[@cming9423]

Lord I'm going to miss him. As a Giants fan you couldn't help but love him. I remember a Veterans Day game in S.F. when Tommy was introduced as a WWII Veteran. We booed him!! I think it was Bob Feller next to him and he elbowed Tommy in the arm as if to say, "You really thought you'd get away without that happening?". You'll always have a home in San Francisco Tommy.

[@alexconaghan3486]

I was at Candlestick for Tommy Lasorda's last game there as a Dodger. I was above the Giant's dugout when the Dodger team made the walk from visiting locker room (far right field corner) to dugout when Giant fans started booing him (and yes, some applauding) when he started blowing kisses to fans all around booing him like a Hollywood starlet. He milked it for all it was worth. I will never forget that. Another great memory at Candlestick.

All the battles against the Cincinnati Reds with the your kids from Albuquerque: Garvey, Lopes, Russell, Cey, Yeager! We always had pizza to watch you direct those big games! You and Vin for so many years. You motivated so many kids - I’m sure you were aware of that!! That never-ending optimism, raw emotion, and commitment.
