At a young age I leaned of rivalries because of Lasorda.....in the 80’s the Dodgers were coming into Houston to play the Astros who just moved into 1st place. Lasorda was asked what he thought about the Astros being in first place. He said they are just renting it! I was probably 10 years old at the time and we wine to the game. We sat in the outfield and someone hung a sign at the start of the game that was in the shape of a penis that said “Rent this Lasorda!”. It was gone by the 3rd inning. To this day I still think it is one of the best signs I have seen at a game. I am sure footage of it exists somewhere and would love to find it. He is a baseball legend for sure and will be missed.
