He actually pitched briefly for the Dodgers during the 1955 season until one day they sent him back to the minors to make room on the roster for a little known pitcher by the name of Sandy Koufax.

From one of the Spokane news stations, KREM 2, "He (Tommy Lasorda) became the Spokane Indians manager in 1969 and coached here until 1971. Back then the Indians where affiliated with the Los Angeles Dodgers and were their AAA team. Lasorda won a Pacific Coast League title with the Indians in 1970 when the team won 94 of 146 games that season. He was inducted permanently into the Spokane Indians' Rim of Honor after he retired from baseball. Lasorda is only one of four permanent members of the Rim of Honor
In 1972 the Dodgers moved the Spokane Indians to Albuquerque. Tommy went with them, winning a PCL championship that year as well. In 1973 he was moved up to be the Dodgers' third base coach. He stayed with that team before being elevated to manager in 1976."
