Tommy Lasorda Says That He Hopes V. Stiviano Gets Hit By A Car But That He Also Doesn't Wish Her Any Bad Luck
WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. —Baseball legend Tommy Lasorda was in South Florida on Tuesday, picking up an honorary doctorate degree, speaking at a college graduation and dropping a bomb on the Donald Sterling-V. Stiviano dust-up. Lasorda is the former baseball manager who led the Los Angeles Dodgers to two World Series championships in the 1980s.
Alongside basketball coaching legend Rollie Massimino, Lasorda was in West Palm Beach to pick up his honorary degree from Northwood University, where he was scheduled to speak as the school’s commencement speaker Tuesday afternoon. WPBF 25 News’ Erin Guy on Tuesday spent a few minutes with Lasorda, who weighed in on the racist remarks by Los Angeles Clippers‘ owner Donald Sterling. “I’ve been a friend of that guy’s for 30 years,” he said. “It doesn’t surprise me that he said those things. And he shouldn’t have said it. He just hurt himself by talking too much and doing things he shouldn’t be doing.” Lasorda also shared an unsolicited opinion on Sterling’s silly rabbit, V. Stiviano. “And I don’t wish that girl any bad luck but I hope she gets hit with a car,” he said.
