I don't know what kind of guy Lasorda was, but I've never quite understood why someone would trash a person that just passed, especially in this forum (whether it's Lasorda or one of the other half dozen Hall of Famers we've lost in the last year and change). I think it's a safe assumption that we're all here because we're baseball fans, and each time one of these guys passes, someone on this board is losing something that has likely brought them great joy at some point in their lives. These guys are human and they all have their faults, but at least let their fans do a bit of grieving over the loss of someone that they felt some type of connection to.
Cheers,
Mark
