I would have gone with “Thomas Charles ‘Tommy’ Lasorda: 1927--20XX: Not terribly impressed with Dave Kingman’s performance.” But this is nice too:
“I’ve already told my wife that when I do go I want our home schedule attached to my tombstone,” Lasorda said. “I want people who are in the cemetery visiting their loved ones to say, ‘Let’s go to Lasorda’s grave and see if the Dodgers are playing home or away ... Hey, I love this organization so much I want to be working for it even after I’m dead.”
In the dictionary, next to the definition of “Company Man,” there is a picture of a guy saying “Dudes, regular company men have NOTHING on Lasorda.”
