(LOS ANGELES) — Tommy Lasorda, the Hall of Fame manager who led the Dodgers to 2 World Series titles, has died at the age of 93.
In a statement, the Dodgers said Lasorda went into cardiac arrest at 10:09 p.m. Thursday night. He was taken to the hospital with resuscitation in progress, before being being pronounced dead shortly before 11:00 p.m.
In all, Lasorda spent 71 years with the Dodgers organization, managing the team for 20 seasons and racking up 1,599 wins. Most recently, he served as a special advisor to the team for the last 14 seasons.
Lasorda could often be seen on the field during games, wearing his number 2 jersey. The Dodgers retired the number in 1997, the same year he was elected to the Hall of Fame.
The Dodgers also said that Lasorda often expressed his desire to see the Dodgers win another championship — and he was able to so. He traveled with the team to Arlington, Texas, where he got to see them defeat the Tampa Bay Rays to claim their first World Series title since his tenure as manager.
Lasorda is survived by his wife Jo, their daughter Laura, and granddaughter Emily Tess.

(NEW YORK) — Simone Biles says she’s more than just a four-time Olympic gold medalist, she is a person who has the right to freely express her own opinions.
The acclaimed gymnast, like many public figures, reacted in horror when rioters overtook the U.S. Capitol building on Wednesday.
“Embarrassed but not surprised,” Biles denounced as the events unfolded. “Disgusted but not surprised, sad but not surprised, angry but not surprised, speechless but not surprised.”

The 23-year-old athlete’s commentary, while met with support from fans, drew sharp rebuke from critics who claimed she should focus on her career.
Another professional athlete was met with similar resistance on Twitter, Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson, who, in turn, schooled naysayers about the freedom of speech.
“Stop saying stick to football like that’s our only purpose on this earth,” the 21-year-old NFL player vented. “We (football players) have every right to speak on whatever we feel no matter the situation.”
Biles retweeted his comments and enthusiastically added in her own two cents by writing, “as well as any other athletes !!!!!!!!!!!”
Four people died during Wednesday’s violent protests in Washington, D.C., which drew comparisons from Black Lives Matter supporters who say, had they breached the Capitol, the death count could have been much higher.
