do our games when I coached

. Still recall our 1st flight together—Joe asked "Where should I sit Coach?" I replied "Joe, you sit wherever you like." We lost a stellar announcer, real pro, great fan of CLE sports & someone I respect deeply

Major League Baseball has lost its greatest ambassador of all time—Tommy Lasorda. And I’ve lost one of my dearest friends of 40 yrs. This is one of the many late night meals Tommy and I had together over the years, and a recent photo taken when we met for lunch in Marina Del Rey.

It is beyond my comprehension to try and understand any justification that could be given to explain why Coach Massimino is not in the HOF.
I’d like to know when a coach Massimino gets into the Naismith HOF. Over 800 wins and the most unexpected title ever? I don’t get it!!
