Thanks for visiting and for your message.
I love the story about Hank. Lasorda is famous for giving nick names.
I’ll bet Lasorda would get a kick out of seeing a photo of the Dodger emblem in Hank’s lawn — in IA!!

What an amazing day it must of been. I live a few miles from the actual Field of Dreams baseball field in Dyersville Iowa. One of my friends made it to the Dodgers years ago. Tommy Lasorda was one of his pitching coaches, I think it was in the early sixties. This friend is one of the Ghost Players. Remember the guys that portrayed the old ball players that came back from the dead to play the game they loved in the movie Field of Dreams. I know what happen to them.
It’s been a blessing be able to tell their stories.
My friend’s name is Ron (Hank) Lucas. He never made it to the big Dodgers game. But Lasorda remembers him, calls him Hoot because of the big black framed glasses he wore. Hank still mows the Dodger emblem in his lawn in Holy Cross IA
