What a loon

(Jeff Schrier, The Saginaw News)

Yup, that's Tommy Lasorda smiling to the crowd as he enters the dugout of the Great Lakes Loons at new $33 million Dow Diamond ballpark before the start of the team's inaugural home baseball game Friday night.The jacket could have been worse. The Loons were playing the Lansing Lugnuts. Turns out, Lasorda will miss his 57th wedding anniversary with wife Jo today because he's here in Midland, Michigan to break in the new home of the Dodgers' Single-A affiliate. Great Lakes, with Lance Parrish as the manager, lost to Lansing, 6-2.
