Former Los Angeles Dodgers manager Tommy Lasorda has been admitted to a hospital in Orange County, where he is in the intensive care unit.

According to a statement released by the team, Lasorda is resting comfortably. No other details on his condition were released. 

Lasorda, 93, was in attendance as the Dodgers won Game 6 of the World Series over the Tampa Bay Rays on Oct. 27 to secure the franchise’s seventh world championship.

Lasorda led the Dodgers to two of those titles — in 1981 and 1988 — as part of his 21 seasons as manager. 

He was elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1997 and is the sport’s oldest living Hall of Famer.
