Greeley Tribune: Lasorda, Buckner thrill fans at Friends of Baseball breakfast

Go 54” waist, young man.

Tanner Moser of La Salle got a gift from Tommy Lasorda on Saturday.

The Hall of Fame manager, who served as skipper of the Los Angeles Dodgers for 20 years until 1996, gave the mop-haired 13-year old $12 with a request to get a haircut.

“Hey Billy,” Lasorda said to Bill Buckner, one of Lasorda’s former players in the minor leagues. “Could you have played for me with the kind of haircut?”

“Nope,” Buckner responded.

I knew Lasorda was a buffoon when he was miked for a "Game Of The Week" when he was 3rd base coach. He used the usual chatter, except when Buckner came up. Then he would say "Billy Buck, best player in baseball.". I don't even think Buckner's mom would have agreed with that.
