Tommy Lasorda holding a wiffleball

March 19, 2007

Major League Wiffleball staff caught up with former Los Angeles Dodgers manager Tommy Lasorda at a spring training game between the Los Angeles Dodgers and the Washington Nationals at Space Coast Stadium in Viera, Florida.

Mr. Lasorda was kind enough to pose for a photo holding a wiffleball from his seat.

In addition to his success as a manager, both in the Major Leagues and the 2000 Summer Olympics, Lasorda is also known as a former spokesman for Slim Fast diet shakes.

He can also be seen in many baseball blooper clips for an incident that occurred while he was coaching third base at the 2001 MLB All Star Game. Lasorda was drilled by a flying baseball bat that was accidentally released by Vladimir Guerrero. Fortunately, Lasorda was unharmed.
