This is gonna make me cry, truly a man who loved his craft and his team.

may he rest in blue heaven

Anyone else remember the Phillie phanatic incident?

I hope Tommy is in Dodger heaven eating a big side of lasagna and toasting a glass of scotch with my Grandpa. RIP Tommy we will all miss you.

God bless Tommy. God gained a great coach

Well said, Tommy. What an epic monologue.

Great guy, great baseball man and great American. Love Tommy, one of the few guys my dad liked !!

A great coach and patriot!

One of the greatest and funniest managers of all time

He got HIS medal when he threw a baseball at the Philly Phanatic!

Not a dodger fan, but I love Tommy Lasorda, what a classic.

RIP Lasorda 🕯

RIP, you'll be missed, especially from the Philly Phanatic

Tommy and I share birthdays!! I love this ol’ man!!! He made me choke up when he was talking about his players receiving their gold metals. 💙

The world needs more Tommy Lasordas.

Rest in peace, legend.

God bless you Tommy

THANK YOU BASED TOMMY LASORDA

He passed away yesterday at 94. May he rest in peace.

We need more men like Tommy in not just baseball but all sports.

Rip to the goat 🐐

The San Diego Chicken relished when LA came to town to play the Padres. Boy did he give that Dodger duggout a hard time.

Thank you Tommy!

Lasorda and Piniella > Contemporary baseball managers. More fun

Long Live Tommy!!!! Viva La Tommy Lasorda!!!! He was the Best of the Best!!!!

Oh, I remember when both the Chicken and Tommy Lasorda were cast members of Johnny Bench's BASEBALL BUNCH TV show. If I recall, Tommy wore a turbin and played The Dugout Wizard, while the Chicken played himself.

Thanks Tommy...thank you for making the game so much better for us to watch...perhaps someone will be like you but that's holding a deep long breath...

Baseball was actually invented in Britain, though. Although it's not really played anymore. When it is, it's called rounders and is somewhat different and more of a kid's game.

Happy Belated Birthday to Mr.Thomas Charles Lasorda.9-22-27.PA

Thank you GOD for blessing us with a great man and Thank you Mr. Lasorda for being great. May you be resting in peace

This guy is a legend and this one isn't even his funniest fight with a mascot

As a lifetime Red Sox fan, who lives in Southern California, I never had any use for Tommy. Or, so I thought. But the realization that Tommy was more like me than I would have admitted and there was more to admire about him than not. He loved the game more than anyone I've ever seen. My two favorite things noted about him are his hatred for team mascots and his love for food. Watching a highlight interview of him today where he said that , "You may see me throw a locker, but you will never see me throw food..." How can you not love a guy like that? R.I.P., Tommy. The team up there just got a new third base coach.

Rest In Peace 🪦 😞

THE BOBBY THE BRAIN HEENAN OF BASEBALL

As a Giants fan I hated Tommy LaSorda and the Dodgers. The bottom line though is I respected him as a human being and damn sure respected all he did for the game of baseball. RIP Tommy LaSorda. You were actually a class act.

If the San Diego Chicken is bothering you, Colonel Sanders can take care of the problem.

So you're saying he saw The Chicken and cried fowl? :D

RIP legend.

This is the dude beavis and butthead would always mess with

RIP Tommy Lasorda.

Tommy Lasorda best manager ever and I'm not a Dodgers fan. then he went off, he was as good or even better than Earl Weaver

Luv Ya Tommy

Was the lefty Jerry Reuss? Doug Rau? Tommy John? The Chicken said,Tommy we're going to do a show together,God Bless the USA!!!

Uncle Tommy can be crusty at times but he's The Dodgers and baseballs favorite uncle! Gotta love em! :) Living legend, the greatest baseball manager of all time!

Not a Dodger fan. But this was humbling

Tommy Lasorda Legend and the GOAT

Tommy Lasorda was a baseball prophet. RIP Tommy.

Wow zombie he scared me when I was scrolling down.

I'm so fired up now after watching this I'm going to go run through a wall.

Rest In Peace Tommy! Be nice to Billy Martin up there!

What did he have against mascots?

A true American hero rest in peace Tommy

When sports turned on the United States of America is when I knew this country was in trouble.

Manager for the ages

Tommy Lasorda Is A Mascot Hater

You got your metal when you got elected to Cooperstown!

Rest in Peace

Tommy knew the importance of representing USA 🇺🇸😥🙂❤👍

Lasorda should have been arrested for assault and making death threats.

Tommy LaSorda must be rolling in his grave knowing that the Padres beat the Dodgers in the 2022 NLDS.

Rip

Wow, that was super weird.

Tommy is one of the reasons the chicken was killed in San Diego.

I yelled "f*** yeah Tommy" at the top of my lungs when he finished his speech about how baseball belongs in America and the gold medal needed to come home to the USA. I have never been prouder to be an American. that's why Tommy Lasorda is an American treasure

"Baseball is an American game! It doesn't belong to the Italians [photo of an Italian player]. It doesn't belong to the Koreans [photo of a Korean player]. It doesn't belong to the Japanese [photo of a Japanese player]. It belongs to the United States of America!" Lol

He reminds me of the big lebowski

PLEASE...

I still HATE that chicken

USA Baby!

One of the nicest guys on the planet, but mascots turned him into a raging tyrant. LOL

2nd greatest manager after Lou Pinella

Pepper Nose has been out in the sun too long. His forehead looks like a catcher's mitt.

Sounds like a mafioso

I get the distinct feeling ol’ Tom Lasorda never voted for no Hillary Clinton OR Dementia Joe Biden.

Guy needs to lay off the hot dogs. He has a spare tractor tire.

Never has someone done so much with so little. Armed with only his big mouth and his talent to BS. And DEFINITELY NOT for his Managerial Strategy. Or LACK THERE OF.

Murica

That forehead is looking nasty.

2 things easy to hate - Tommy and CNN

He was evil.

semi racist rant at 2:25 lol

RIP Tommy Lasora, but we could have left out all that Patriotism propaganda at the end.

Bet chicken story was exaggerated. Old punks like him enjoy sounding tough.

How could people say he is nice when in fact he was homophopic and would answer you back in a mean way. I used to work at Shea stadium and that is what he did. And baseball is not an American game. It's played all over the world.

Who are the 11 individuals that thumbed down this video? Those 11 are the types that would kneel/support those that kneel during the National Anthem and blame others for their lack of success.
