Tommy Lasorda: 80 and still shoveling bullsh*t

Tommy Lasorda is genuinely one of the nicest men I've ever met.

I was seven years old, and my dad's company had some kind of partnership with the Dodgers. So we go to the old--timers dinner, and my dad takes me over to meet Tommy. He grabs me, puts me on his lap and starts talking baseball with me. One of the nicest baseball men I've ever me...

 

I know the blumpkin story. Hilarious.

 

So if nobody is going to share it, why was it brought up?

 

We were waiting to see who knew first...
Hondo, you're up!

 

The story I heard had to do with President George H.W. Bush.

 

count me among the people that don't know the "blumpkin" story, hell....I didn't even know Lasorda was a dick.

 

HERE IS THE BLUMPKIN STORY.
Credit must be given to Hondo for relaying it to me.
From what I heard, one of his players, knowing his penchant for hookers, told him of a recent innovation called a "blumpkin," where the hooker would blow a guy while he was on the toilet taking a dump. Tommy actually started calling all of the escorts and hookers in his little black book and asking for a blumpkin, before they told him that was too deviant even for them. Which was the point of the joke -- the guy knew Tommy would try to get one.

 

Steve Garvey?

 

And I love how it's mentioned as an innovation, just like anti-lock brakes and power steering.

 

Doubt it. He was too busy trying to start his own team.

 

Well, if he grabbed her ears during, it is power steering.
