Lasorda, 84, took over as manager in 1976 and led the Dodgers to the World Series in 1977, 1978, 1981 and 1988, winning the title in 1981 and 1988. One of LA's most beloved sports figures, he retired as manager in 1996 and currently serves in an executive role with the team.

He was elected to the National Baseball Hall of Fame in 1997. His No. 2 uniform number was retired by the organization that same year.

In 2000, Lasorda was back in the dugout for the first time since his retirement to manage the United States Olympic team in Sydney. The team, considered an underdog, won gold just five days after Lasorda's 73rd birthday.

He returned to the Dodgers dugout during the team's final home game last season as the honorary manager on his 84th birthday.
