More quotes by Tommy Lasorda
I started in the lowest league in baseball, and I worked my way all the way up to Triple A and then to the big leagues. I never reached the level that I thought I would reach as a player. But that's the way it goes. So then I started from the bottom as a manager, and I worked my way up to managing the Dodgers for 20 years.

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.

When you - when you become the manager of a major league team, particularly the Dodgers, to me, that's a privilege and an honor. No matter where you go or what you do, you represent that position that you have. And you represent that organization that gave you the opportunity to be doing what you're doing.

There are three types of baseball players: Those who make it happen, those who watch it happen and those who wonder what happens.
Tommy Lasorda
Sometimes you've just got to let an umpire know that you're not satisfied with his decision. That they've missed the play in your opinion. Not that it's going to do you any good, but you've got to let them know.
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!
