This Saturday, Hall of Fame Dodgers great Tommy Lasorda will have a stretch of the I-5 Freeway dedicated in his name.
The California legislature passed a bill in 2021 to designate section of the freeway in Fullerton as Tommy Lasorda Memorial Highway.
Lasorda lived in Fullerton since the Dodgers headed west in 1958. He won two World Championships, four National League championships, eight division titles, and 1,599 games.
"Fullerton held a very special place in Tommy's heart, and we know how proud he would be to be standing here today,'' said Stan Kasten, president and C.E.O. of Los Angeles Dodgers, in a statement.
The bill honoring Lasorda was authored by Los Angeles and Orange County representative, Assemblymember Sharon Quirk-Silva.
