, the baseball coach and manager who managed the Los Angeles Dodgers for 20 years, has died. He was 93.

Lasorda managed the Los Angeles Dodgers from 1976 to 1996, and was inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame in 1997. In 2020, Lasorda celebrated his 71st year as part of the Brooklyn/Los Angeles Dodgers organization, which is the longest tenure anyone has had with the team.

During his 20-year tenure as manager, Lasorda scored a record of 1,599 to 1,439 and won two World Series titles, in 1981 and 1988. At the time of his retirement, Lasorda’s 16 wins in 30 National League championship games were the most of any manager.
