Happy Birthday Tommy

When asked what Fernando Valenzuela might demand after his historic first season -- Lasorda replied, "He wants Texas back"

Hope Tommy is enjoying his meatballs and a bowl of cannoli

I meant a bowl of gelato and a plate of cannoli.....mama mia

Will they pull through in extra innings on his birthday???
That Mary Hart is a trooper; she is still there in extra innings.

Tommy Lasorda has only one year less of continuous employment by the Dodger organization than VIn Scully. The two are also only a year apart, agewise.

The guy's been married to his wife for over 60 years. Wow.

Damn Giants.

Slick,

I learned a lot from the ESPN 30 for 30 special on Fernando. I had no knowledge of the history of Chavez Ravine and the fact that many Mexican-Americans hated the Dodgers because of it. It wasn't until Fernandomania that relations improved.
