The Dodgers’ last link to Brooklyn

Ever heard of a guy named Koufax?

The Dodgers' last link to Brooklyn.

You forgot Tommy Lasorda, who is still employed by the Dodgers and just finished his 67th year on the payroll (albeit on their minor league affiliates until '54). Vinnie's a mere piker at only 65 years.

Koufax is no longer employed, except perhaps with a spring training consultant honorarium. But do you know the Lasorda/Koufax link?



The Dodgers released Tommy to make room on the roster for Sandy.

Sorry, I’m mistaken to say Lasorda’s been on the payroll all 67 years—he left and returned.
