In Atlanta Fulton County Stadium, Braves fans would greet with a standing boo any appearance of Tommy Lasorda on the field. Once, I was adding my own lustrous voice to the chorus when Lasorda tipped his hat to the crowd.

Tommy Lasorda speaking of himself "Dodger Stadium was his address, but every ball field was his home".

Of all my baseball heroes from my youth, Hammering Hank was the #1. RIP Henry! You are forever the homerun king.

Loved Hank's swing. Quick story. As a lad of 12 years old, I went to Milwaukee to watch the Braves play. This was in the era of some great players. We had seats a few rows up behind home plate. Hank came up to bat, and I was so excited, without thinking twice, I jumped up and yelled "HANK". He was digging in, in the batters box, and he stopped and turned to look at me.... FAWK, what a thrill for me. No, he did not hit a homer.

That must be it. My phone thinks Amazon links are ads. Pop-ups are enabled.

Larry King

dang. I actually met him once at the Green Hills Cinema in Nashville. No freaking idea what he was doing in town (this was before Nashville got hip).

Had to have been all those wives nagging him all the time.

Larry King

When he legitimately didn’t know if Seinfeld was cancelled or ended voluntarily, best moment ever. He was great though.
