More quotes by Tommy Lasorda
When you say you're a padre, people ask when did you become a parent. When you say you're a cardinal, they tell you to work hard because the next step is pope. But when you say you're a Dodger, everybody knows you're in the Major Leagues.

Everybody wants to win, but everybody doesn't win.

The worst team in baseball's history won only 55 games. The best team ever won 110 out of 160, so you're virtually guaranteed to win 1/3 of the time and lose 1/3 of the time. The difference is the 1/3 in the middle. You don't know what bucket the game you're playing falls into, so if you're smart, you'll fight like everything for all of them.
Tommy Lasorda
You can have the best team in baseball, and if nobody goes through the turnstiles, you've got to shut the doors down.
Tommy Lasorda
If you don't love the Dodgers, there's a good chance you may not get into Heaven.

Tommy Lasorda
I've never used one word of profanity in front of my wife, or my daughter, or my granddaughter or anybody else's wife.

Sports has kept me on the straight and narrow path.
