Evgeny Sveltanov he ain’t!
Hall of Fame Manager and Special Advisor to the Chairman Tommy Lasorda will participate in the Jr. Philharmonic’s “Battle of the Batons,” it was announced today. Lasorda will lead the orchestra in “Take Me Out to the Ball Game” as the Jr. Phil celebrates the 100th anniversary of baseball’s official anthem. The concert is this Sunday, May 4, at the Shrine Auditorium.
“I gave up a lucrative musical career for baseball,” said Lasorda. “All kidding aside, it is an honor to be asked to conduct the orchestra. I just hope the musicians follow direction better than some of my players did.”
The Orchestra’s 71st Anniversary Concert Spectacular will be under the baton of long-time concertmaster Gary S. Greene. Wink Martindale will serve as the emcee and legendary Hollywood columnist Army Archerd will host the annual, celebrity “Battle of Batons.” Actress June Lockhart will be a special guest.

Wink Martindale is better than ten Lasordas.
Next you'll be impugning the manhood of Walt Weiss and Wally Joyner.
Well...the Lasorda/Svelte connection and all.
When he took that header at the All-Star game, it looked like he was wearing a Dodgers pup tent with a hole cut in the top for his head.
