Former Dodgers manager Tommy Lasorda and former National League umpire Bruce Froemming have been added as instructors at the 53rd Los Angeles Dodgers Adult Baseball Camp at Historic Dodgertown – Vero Beach, Florida, from Nov. 9-15.

Instructors scheduled to attend include: Ron Cey, Tommy Davis, Steve Garvey, Mickey Hatcher, Rick Monday, Steve Sax, Don Sutton, Maury Wills and Steve Yeager. Of those nine former Dodgers, all have played in at least one World Series for the Dodgers.

More from today’s press release:

Lasorda won 1,599 games and two World Championships (1981 and 1988) for the Dodgers in his 20-year managerial career before his induction into the National Baseball Hall of Fame in 1997. It was in that year that the Dodgers retired his uniform No. 2 and named a street at Dodgertown “Tommy Lasorda Lane.” He is in his 65th season with the Dodger organization and is in his ninth season serving as Special Advisor to the Dodger Chairman. Renowned as a goodwill ambassador for baseball throughout the world, Lasorda managed the United States team to a gold medal against a heavily-favored Cuban team at the 2000 Olympic Games in Sydney. Lasorda has been enshrined in 17 different Halls of Fame.

The always gregarious Froemming has endless tales to share from his 37 years in the majors. When he retired after the 2007 season, he held the MLB record for longest tenure for full seasons at 37. In 1963-70, Froemming worked Dodger minor league games at Dodgertown. Once he reached the majors, Froemming was selected to work in five World Series and was behind the plate for 11 no-hitters. He maintains a residence in Vero Beach.

“Forty-plus years of umpiring at Dodgertown and 30-plus fantasy camps in Vero Beach, you couldn’t have more fun and lots of stories dealing with Tommy Lasorda,” said Froemming.
