THIS IS THE STORY OF TOMMY LASORDA. THIS FORMER PLAYER AND MANAGER DOES A GOOD JOB TELLING HIS STORY AS THE MANAGER OF THE LOS ANGELES DODGERS. IT IS VERY WELL DONE AND I SUGGEST IT FOR ALL DODGER FANS. AT TIMES HE COMES ACROSS AS BEING A KNOW IT ALL AND AROGANT, BUT HE CAN BACK IT UP. A VERY INTERESTING AND ENTERTAINING READ.

Tommy Lasorda is perhaps the greatest ambassador for Major League Baseball ever, and maybe the best manager the Los Angeles Dodgers ever had.
This book is for the True Blue Dodger fan and also for anyone who likes a great American success story. Tommy bleeds Dodger blue in a time when most people dislike or resent the company they work for. But Tommy is a throw back, he's a hard working, true American success and he actually loves and appreciates the company he has toiled for for so many years, Rare, you bet but so is Tom Lasorda.
Buy this book and enjoy yourself, Tommy will inspire you, life your spirits and push you to greater hights. He will also remind you that its okay to love your spouse, country and your job and be proud of all of them.
Part of the title of my new book "Through My Eyes" by Steve Balsamo - I use the phrase coined by Tommy - "You Gotta Believe". I did, I do, I will.

I get a smile on my face a t the mention of Tommy Lasorda.This guy is the best PR man not only for the Dodgers but for the game of baseball itself.He is not only one of the best managers ever but hilariously funny too. For a good time read this book, I promise it will make you smile.
