Baseball’s Tommy Lasorda, 93
Tommy Lasorda has died at 93. He wasn’t born here, but he played here for the Montreal Royals from 1950-1954 and then from 1958 to 1960. After that he became a manager and visited Montreal from time to time with the L.A. Dodgers.
La Presse has that thoughtful piece by Alexandre Pratt, while the Gazette has a brief wire story from Reuters.

Lasorda has another Montreal connection: He’s the only person to get a mascot (Youppi!) kicked out of an MLB game.
