S.F. supe wants to toss Lasorda from parade

Lasorda is dumber than ten Underdog balloons!

We’ve seen some pretty amusing pieces of legislation out of the Board of Supervisors, but this one’s a really good read: Supervisor Michela Alioto-Pier wants organizers of the San Francisco Italian American parade to boot Tommy Lasorda as grand marshal.

He’s the former manager of the Los Angeles Dodgers, who’ve had “an intense rivalry” with our hometown Giants for years and “nobody embodies that more than Tommy Lasorda,” states the resolution.

The Giants aren’t doing so great, it continues, and “Dodger fans are boastful and smug.” Furthermore, there are “many other distinguished local Italian American athletes” like Giants pitcher Barry Zito “or even Joe Montana” who could do the important job of waving from a convertible.

...But is this really how the supervisors should be spending their time?

“We can’t have Tommy Lasorda come to San Francisco for the Italian American parade!” Alioto-Pier said. “He’s like enemy No. 1 right now. If you don’t think this is important, you should move to L.A.”
