"What do Michael Jackson and Steve Sax have in common?
They each wear a glove on one hand for no apparent reason."
Johnny Carson.
The Dodgers Pedro Guerrero committed several hard-to-believe fielding errors during one game.
At the same time Dodgers' 2nd baseman Steve Sax was undergoing his horrendous fielding slump in which he couldn't throw the most routine ball to first without trouble.
Tommy Lasorda decided it was time for one of his famous motivational meetings and zeroed in on Pedro Guerrero.
In the post-game meeting, Mgr. Tommy Lasorda was at a loss with Guerrero. Lasorda: "Pedro, suppose your playing 3rd, the bases are loaded.
What are you thinking about next hitter?"
Pedro: "Two things."
Lasorda: "What's the first thing?"
Pedro, "I'm thinking 'God, Don't hit it to me'". Lasorda, "Come on, what else are you thinking?"
Pedro, "I'm thinking 'Don't hit it to Saxxy either'"
Steve Sax was having issues!

"When Tommy Lasorda was young teenager, Lasorda went to his first big-league baseball game at Shibe Park.
The game ended, and the Giants players came clattering by and Tommy extended his scorecard to the first hero to come in out of the sunshine.
"Can I have your autograph, please, mister?"
"Outta my way, kid," the Giant said, brushing past the boy.
"I couldn’t believe it!!
I noticed the number on his back.
Later on, I looked at my program and got his name.
It was Buster Maynard, who was an outfielder with the Giants then. I never forgot it."
Several years later Tommy Lasorda was a star pitcher with the Dodger farm team in Greenville, South Carolina, facing the Augusta Yankees.
The park loudspeaker made the introduction:
"Now coming up to bat for the Yankees, Buster May-narrd, right field!”
Lasorda was transfixed.
"I looked in and it was the same man!"
The first pitch to Maynard nearly removed the button from the top of his cap.
The second, behind his knees, inspired a beautiful sudden entrechat.
The third, under the Adam’s apple, confirmed the message.
Maynard threw away his bat and charged the mound like a fighting bull entering the plaza in Seville.
The squads spilled out onto the field and separated the two men.
After the game in the clubhouse, Lasorda had a visitor.
It was Buster Maynard.
"Listen, kid, have I even met you before?"
"No," said Lasorda.
"Did I ever do anything to you?" asked a still perplexed Maynard.
"No, not really."
"Then why were you trying to take my head off out there?"
"You wouldn’t give me your autograph!"
"Always give an autograph when somebody asks you.
You never can tell.
In baseball, anything can happen".
Tommy Lasorda.
