Tommy Lasorda
Sports has kept me on the straight and narrow path.
Tommy Lasorda
I don't like the pitch count! How are you gonna develop your arm? If you're a track man you say, Hey, you can't run too much. Or if you're a boxer you say, Hey, you can only box three rounds. It's not right!
Tommy Lasorda
I've got a portrait in the Smithsonian. Who ever thought that would happen?
