Tommy Lasorda is baseball's true immortal and one of its larger than life figures. A former pitcher who was overshadowed by Sandy Koufax, Lasorda went on to a Hall of Fame career as a manager
with one of baseball's most storied franchises. His teams won two World Series, four National League pennants, and eight division titles. He was twice named National League manager of the year
and he also led the United States baseball team to the gold medal at the 2000 Summer Olympics.

with an indelible portrait of a legend that, if Tommy Lasorda has anything to say about it, we won't ever forget.
