Legendary Dodgers coach Tommy Lasorda dies at 93 of heart attack

 

Dodgers manager Tommy Lasorda has died at the age of 93 from a heart attack

Lasorda was more than just the coach who won World Series titles. He was also the guy who once apparently trained an injured boy out of a coma and ultimately used him as a batboy.

Lasorda was more than the second most victorious manager in Dodgers history, with the second most wins in the playoffs. He was also a legendary eater who turned a weight loss challenge from Orel Hershiser and Kirk Gibson into a campaign that built a new convent for the Sisters of Mercy in Nashville.

He was a poor boy who grew up the son of Italian immigrants, in a neighborhood of Norristown, Pennsylvania, and he spent his life as a reflection of those roots. He literally had to fight his way into Vero Beach Dodgertown when he was late for his first spring training in 1948, and spent the next six decades attacking life with a chip on his shoulder and gratitude in his heart. .

Rest in peace Chief, your legacy, your love for Baseball and the Dogers, it will be something nice to tell all future generations

God have you in his holy glory. People like you were, take pride, not only in sport in general, but also exemplifies the behavior that every human being should have, towards his fellow men, in this world

Rest in Peace - 1927 - 2021

A game of great intensity, with depth, direct play on the sides and a lot of dedication and speed

The one that led the rhythm of the game, it was mostly the home team, PSG, today it was a team without much association, few clear ideas, with a cold head, when it comes to managing game times, with more individualities, what a game team

It was Mauricio Pochetino's debut on the PSG bench and the truth is, in particular, I did not like anything, a team without offensive criteria, with good individualities but no association of its players, a Mbappe, who is not going to nobody, wrong, out of focus, losing almost all the balls, except the goal that was a good combination with Verratti and Kean to put the tie at that time

Saint Etiennet, played well, attacked, accompanied almost all his attacks on the goal of Keylor Navas, who today took three sung balls and one, which beat him horizontally , plus the goal of Romain Hamouma, in the first half

The game was balanced, with a slight improvement from the home team, and a worrying and disappointing presentation of PSG, in what was the first game of the administration, by Mauricio Pochetino.

The game was more even in the second half, but Barcelona was always the one who had the game times and control, SD Huesca limited itself to defending itself, and looking for a counterattack that would give them some result in Ten Steger's goal. , which never arrived until the last 10 minutes, where he had a couple of tepid opportunities, which turned into a couple of sweet candies for the German goalkeeper
