Tommy Lasorda is baseball's true immortal and one of its larger
than life figures. A former pitcher who was overshadowed by Sandy
Koufax, Lasorda went on to a Hall of Fame career as a manager with
one of baseball's most storied franchises. His teams won two World
Series, four National League pennants, and eight division titles.
He was twice named National League manager of the year and he also
led the United States baseball team to the gold medal at the 2000
Summer Olympics.
In I Live for This! award-winning sportswriter Bill Plaschke shows
us one of baseball's last living legends as we've never seen him
before, revealing the man behind the myth, the secrets to his
amazing, unlikely success, and his unvarnished opinions on the
state of the game. Bravely and brilliantly, I Live for This!
dissects the personality to give us the person. By the end we're
left with an indelible portrait of a legend that, if Tommy Lasorda
has anything to say about it, we won't ever forget.
For nearly sixty years, Bud Furillo wrote and talked about sports
in Southern California. As a reporter, columnist, editor, and
pioneer of sports talk radio, the Steamer dished out insight and
understanding to Southern California sports fans while Los Angeles
grew into a sports empire. Here, Furillo's son, Andy, himself a
longtime newspaperman, uses his father's lens to give focus to the
city's rise as a sports empire. THE STEAMER is a history of a great
sports town at its most dynamic, told from the point of view of a
legendary reporter.
