Little League® International remembers the life and legacy of Tommy Lasorda, the incomparable former manager of the Los Angeles Dodgers. He was 93.

Mr. Lasorda spent 67 years in the Dodgers organization as a player, coach, and manager. He was a tireless and charismatic ambassador for the sport of baseball, and on different occasions participated in Little League events.

“Major League Baseball (MLB) has lost an icon, and Little League has lost a true friend,” said Stephen D. Keener, Little League President and CEO. “Largely through the relationship that Little League had with Peter O’ Malley, former owner of the Dodgers and President of the Little League Foundation, Tommy lent his legendary passion for the game for the betterment of the Little League program, and we will forever be grateful.”
