Photos | Dodgers manager Tommy Lasorda through the years

Tommy Lasorda, longtime manager of the Los Angeles Dodgers, has died. He was 93.

Lasorda attended the Dodgers’ Game 6, championship-clinching win over the Tampa Bay Rays in Arlington, Texas, on Oct. 27. He was admitted to the hospital in November and was released earlier this week before passing away on Thursday night.

The former Dodgers manager remained a fixture at games after retiring in 1996 and still held an official title within the organization: special advisor to the chairman. The 2020 season was his 70th with the club, dating back to his time as a pitcher in the 1950s.
