A true character. A buddy had his phone # and we'd prank call him from time to time. He said some funny shit...RIP Tommy.
MLB is losing a lot of legends so close together. :-( 93 yrs old, I think most people would sign up for that! He lived a long life and what a life it appears to have been. R.I.P Mr Lasorda
The only players from the last team in 1957 still alive are Roger Craig, Carl Erskine, Jim Gentile, Fred Kipp, Sandy Koufax, and Joe Pignatano. Oisk is the oldest (he turned 94 last month), and Sandy is the youngest (he turned 85 nine days ago). An even younger survivor is Bob Aspromonte (1956 team), who is 82.
R.I.P Tommy. A legend of the game for sure. Anyone think any of today’s managers /analytic guys send Kirk Gibson up to the plate against Eckersly?
