LOS ANGELES (AP) — Hall of Fame manager and longtime Los Angeles Dodgers patriarch Tom Lasorda has died at 93 following a heart attack at his home.
Lasorda spent 71 years in the Dodgers organization, starting as a player when the team was still based in Brooklyn. He compiled a 1,599-1,439 record as manager from 1977-96, winning two World Series, four National League pennants and eight division titles.
Lasorda had a history of heart issues and was released from a hospital on Tuesday following an episode. His death makes Willie Mays the oldest living member of the Baseball Hall of Fame. Mays turns 90 on May 6.
