Tommy's Boys

Douglas Kmiotek, Alden Sargent

In the 1970’s Dodgers manager Tommy Lasorda pioneered the role of the celebrity baseball coach, embodying the old fashioned hard knocks of America's pastime with a showmanship that made him a household name. But just down the freeway, his son, Tommy Junior, fruitlessly pursued fame and adoration as a fashion designer, his sexuality an open secret that could have destroyed his father’s career. When closeted rookie Glenn Burke joined the Dodgers in 1977, his connection with Tommy Junior. ignited a clubhouse full of secrets and changed the lives of all three men forever. Set against the parallel rises of LA’s baseball dynasty and gay subculture, Tommy’s Boys is a tragic love story of a father and son and the player that came between them.
