Lasorda, Jr., who was gay. ORIGINAL REPORT: Over nearly three s, Tommy Lasorda’s nial of his gay son’s inty has grown to legend.

Official reports the media of the time said Spunky died of “pnmonia and severe hydratn, ” and foc more on how his father would al wh managg his baseball team than wh the fact that his only son was gay.

Not a “Hey world, I’m gay” way, but the sense that his teammat knew as did the management of the Los Angel Dodgers, Burke’s first team, and eventually fans who would tnt him om the outfield bleachers Oakland by llg him a “fag. ” A memorable moment “Out” occurs when is relled that the Dodgers – tryg to stifle mors that a popular player was gay — offered Burke $75, 000 to get married.

EDITOR’S NOTE: An unverified published mentary Friday’s Los Angel Bla claims what no one else has ever reported: that the late Tommy Lasorda not only admted his son Spunky was gay, that he died of AIDS, but that he apologized for beg a homophobe. “Years later, at some chary event, not an terview, Lasorda admted that Tommy Jr was gay and had died of AIDS – and he apologized for his homophobia, ” wrote veteran journalist and former edor Karen Omb, the wner of both GLAAD and NLGJA awards.

I bldly thought the young Lasorda jt got tragilly sick, but mors abound after he died about the real e of his ath, and about his person who would not adm to this speculatn, that he was gay and that he died of AIDS, was his father.

So, I believed his father, bee at that time a manly, bative man like Lasorda uld not have possibly had a gay son, and one who died of AIDS. It seemed que plsible that he did have a gay son who may have died of AIDS. By admtg that nial was wrong, and acknowledgg that there was nothg wrong wh his son beg gay, and nothg dishonorable about dyg om AIDS?

He was an A-lister om the celebry pal of Los Angel the 1970s through the 1990s, and he no doubt me om a generatn, and om a profsn, that thought beg gay was weak, and dyg of AIDS was shameful.
