Former Dodgers manager Tommy Lasorda suffered a mild heart attack Monday while in New York, the Los Angeles team confirmed Tuesday.
Lasorda, 84, was in New York for the 2012 Major League Baseball First-Year Player Draft. He was taken to New York-Presbyterian Hospital/Columbia University Medical Center, and doctors inserted a stent to correct a blocked artery, the Dodgers said in a statement. He is resting and in stable condition.
The Hall of Fame manager led the Dodgers between 1976-1996. He also managed the United States to its first gold medal in baseball at the 2000 Olympics in Sydney, according to the National Baseball Hall of Fame.

One of the greats – although I confess I loved to hate him for years when I lived in Atlanta and the Dodgers were the Braves chief rivals.
Get better Tommy!
Exit poll indicate Scott walker in the lead 52-48. Wow what a coincident! That's exactly what he won by the first time. What a waste of money...
Insert Stent, start taking Statins and a blood thinner ......Good as new.....Good luck Tommy.
Why does Colin Powell never run for President? EASY.... its so much easier to hide in Elvis Presley Mansions of the obsoletes. Love his book... its like an Oprah prosac diary that omits hs part history of mass exterminations.
Oh dont worry... they were not people... they were "communists".... perhaps like Allende but armed for a change.
I wish him well.
He always entertained me.
Hope you get well Tommy Lasorda.
I thought he was dead already.
The Philly phanic is very happy.
