LOS ANGELES — Hall of Fame manager Tommy Lasorda has been memorialized during a private service at Dodger Stadium before his burial.
He died on Jan. 7 after a heart attack at age 93.
His casket, covered in a huge assortment of blue and white flowers, was placed on the pitcher’s mound with a blue 2, signifying Lasorda’s jersey number, on the back of the mound.
Lasorda’s wife of 70 years, Jo, attended in a wheelchair, along with their daughter, Laura.
The mourners stood socially distanced around the mound. Former Dodgers Mike Scioscia, Bobby Valentine, Eric Karros and Charlie Hough were among the 10 pallbearers.
