Former Los Angeles Dodger manager Tommy Lasorda had heart attack

He's recovering, as the blurb says . . .

Tommy Lasorda had heart attack

NEW YORK -- Hall of Fame manager Tommy Lasorda was hospitalized in stable condition Tuesday, a day after having a "mild" heart attack while representing the Los Angeles Dodgers at the Major League Baseball draft.

The Dodgers said doctors inserted a stent to repair a blocked artery in Lasorda's heart. The energetic, enthusiastic 84-year-old was resting comfortably and there was a chance he could return to California on Wednesday.

"The doctors confirmed I do bleed Dodger Blue. I'm looking forward to being back at the stadium to cheer on the Dodgers," Lasorda said, according to the Dodgers' Twitter feed.

Arizona Diamondbacks manager Kirk Gibson took Lasorda's sense of humor as a sign that he is doing all right.

"He's had a couple [attacks] before, so he's in New York for the draft and probably went out and pounded a huge meal, and went down," said Gibson, who was managed by Lasorda during his playing career.

Sounds like Gibson knows Lasorda, and that Lasorda isn't a Nutrisystem client anymore.  The rest is here:

In the 80's I saw Lasorda at a convention speaking about "Dodger Blue". The guy has a good message, and has lived it.

I mentioned the other day that Richard Dawson had been in my "already dead pool", and that I sometimes am surprised to find that someone is still alive or just recently died.

Here's another one:

Tommy Lasorda had a heart attack?  Well, good for him.  I thought he'd been dead for years.

And not in the Dennis Kucinich ("just looks dead") or Michael Moore (just smells dead") categories, either.
