local minor league team. We would sit behind the visitors’ dugout so my dad could heckle the opposing team. Anyway, through the course of my dad’s heckling, we got to know LaSorda. Great guy. He would bring his son on trips and we would go to the movies with him. Good times. Got an autographed Bobby Valentine bat as well and saw other Dodgers as they came through the system like Ron Cey, Bill Buckner and Bill Russell.
