A good friend of mine, who is a devoted Dodgers fan, sat one row in front of Tommy Lasorda last night at the Angels-Yankees game at Anaheim Stadium. Early this morning he emailed me details of Lasorda’s regrettable behavior while watching the game. Knowing what I know about Lasorda, not even counting the prostitution, porn ignorance and lies, I’m not surprised in the least.
(Legend)
But the actual personality of the notorious legendary Dodger manager might be news to you, so I’ll post some of my friend’s email about Lasorda last night.
First off, for veracity’s sake, my friend told me that Lasorda sat in Sec. 113, row D, seat #10. He was joined by MLB officials.
Was at Anaheim last night with (son). Lasorda sitting behind us, (son) and I in first row. Kid and parent stand up in first inning and Lasorda screams at them ‘sit the f— down!’ I turn around and give him a stare.
He kept yelling and swearing at people standing up cause he’s too lazy and fat to get up. He yelled four times. Loud. It was disgusting. Lost whatever respect i had for him. All the Angel fans in the front row were pissed.
He fell asleep a few times during the game. Reminded me of a crotchety old man who didn’t realize he was at a sporting event. I think he thought he was at the opera or theatre where patrons dont stand up.
To recap, Lasorda cursed other fans (including kids), who probably paid hundreds for their tickets, multiple times in an attempt to get them to sit down during the most pivotal Angels game of the year. And he slept through part of the game.
Yep, that’s Tommy I know. And now you do too.

Yeah, was watching the game on TV last night when they zero in on Lasorda snoozing - - mind you it was 4 - 0 at the time. Chip Caray makes some comment like “well, Tommy’s not as interested with the Dodgers out of it.” Hilarious. What’s not so funny is the lazy, old terd dropping f-bombs in the expensive seats and around the kids.

That’s probably the most accurate announcing Chip Carey has ever done.

was at spring training back in 98 at a dodgers/astros game at kissimee, and tommy pulled out the ole william shatner line ‘get a life’. now i’m not an autograph hound, but if you’re going to stand on the warning track next to the front rows of seats behind home plate, he shouldve expected someone to start asking. yes, cussing was part of the game then too, he unloaded on about 10 fans trying to ask for autographs.

Just about what I expected from this old bag of crap. “Hey, you and Tommy LaSorda! I hate Tommy LaSorda!”
By the way, on my first read-through on this piece, I thought ol Tommy was somehow unaware that people have sex on film for money.

A few years back I remember Mark Willard joking about Lasorda sleeping at a game and then Tommy came on and ripped him a new one. Don’t fall asleep at a baseball game if you can’t take a bit of ribbing.

Either/or… too many nutri shakes or he just had his nut cracked before the game.

He’s an old guy. Your friend should have respected that and kept their butts down in the seats.
You’re also just providing one side of the story.
