You get an opportunity to do something for your country, you better get out and do it.

Always give an autograph when somebody asks you.

People say you can't go out and eat with your players. I say why not.

When we win, I'm so happy I eat a lot. When we lose, I'm so depressed, I eat a lot. When we're rained out, I'm so disappointed I eat a lot.

From Tommy Lasorda

The only way I'd worry about the weather is if it snows on our side of the field and not theirs.

From Tommy Lasorda

Listen, if you start worrying about the people in the stands, before too long you're up in the stands with them.

From Tommy Lasorda

I am so happy and proud to learn of Hideo Nomo's election to the Japanese Baseball Hall of Fame. He was quite a pitcher and competitor, but he is also a very special and caring person.

From Tommy Lasorda

Sometimes you've just got to let an umpire know that you're not satisfied with his decision. That they've missed the play in your opinion. Not that it's going to do you any good, but you've got to let them know.

From Tommy Lasorda

Everything I have, I owe to baseball and the Dodgers.

From Tommy Lasorda

When you - when you become the manager of a major league team, particularly the Dodgers, to me, that's a privilege and an honor. No matter where you go or what you do, you represent that position that you have. And you represent that organization that gave you the opportunity to be doing what you're doing.
