Tommy Lasorda, who claimed to “bleed Dodger blue” from the moment he entered the Brooklyn Dodgers organization in 1949 and decades later became the colorful and very successful manager of the transplanted Los Angeles Dodgers, winning two World Series titles, died Thursday night.

Lasorda was 93. The Dodgers announced that Lasorda suffered sudden cardiac arrest at his home and was rushed to the hospital. Lasorda was pronounced dead at 10:57.

“Words can not express my feelings,” former Mets manager Bobby Valentine tweeted. “A friend and mentor for 52 years is no longer with us. Tommy no one will ever fill the void you left. Thank you for everything. R.I.P.”

Lasorda had just been released from the hospital on Tuesday after being admitted in mid-November for undisclosed reasons.:snip:
