Lasorda, Fitch Compare Notes

Former Dodger Manager Tom Lasorda, who retired after having an angioplasty last summer, attended the game against Cleveland and talked with Clipper Coach Bill Fitch, who underwent an emergency triple bypass after a heart attack last summer.

Lasorda isn’t surprised Fitch, 62, decided to continue coaching.

“It’s his life,” Lasorda said of Fitch, who has spent 24 years in the NBA.
