Tommy Lasorda se convirtió en miembro del Salón de la Fama como mánager de los Los Angeles Dodgers después de una carrera como jugador que comenzó cuando el equipo todavía llamaba a Brooklyn su hogar, pero fue su personalidad grandiosa lo que lo convirtió en un verdadero ícono del béisbol y en un favorito de los fanáticos en todo el país.
No es de extrañar que, tras la noticia de su muerte a los 93 años el viernes, los tributos comenzaron a llegar de costa a costa. Estos son solo algunos de los mensajes de las redes sociales que conmemoran a Lasorda de parte de atletas, celebridades, equipos y fanáticos.

Hall of Fame Dodgers Manager, LA icon, and my great friend Tommy Lasorda passed away late last night. For the last 8 years I've sat next to Tommy at every Dodgers game and he taught me invaluable lessons on the strategy and history of baseball. pic.twitter.com/6RxmoQ7Che

Our thoughts are with the Lasorda family in this time. https://t.co/BHM2JMVvi6
There were many days in Glendale, AZ at the @dodgers spring training complex when I watched Tommy sitting in his golf cart and sign autographs and take pictures with anyone who wanted one, some days in blistering heat. He did so enjoying every moment. pic.twitter.com/6zNjVLfB04
