Mr. Speaker. I rise this morning to pay tribute to an outstanding individual. Tommy Lasorda. In an emotional address for fans and players alike. Lasorda announced last Monday that he will step down as manager of the beloved Dodgers. Born in 1927 to Italian immigrants in Norristown. PA. Lasordas ethnicity is something he has celebrated and cherished. He is an individual who has brought an unmatched level of enthusiasm to the great game of baseball. A man of 1.613 wins. he became the most active manager in baseballand 12th alltime. In 20 seasons. he led the Dodgers to two Wodd Series championships. four National League pennants and seven division titles.
