Question: The 1996 Los Angeles Dodgers season, saw the Dodgers remain atop the standings most of the season, however, longtime manager Tommy Charles Lasorda suffered a heart attack in mid-season, and had to step down, he's a former Major League Baseball pitcher who is best known for being the manager of the Los Angeles Dodgers, for how many decades?
Context: Michael Lorri Scioscia ( , ; born November 27, 1958) is an American former Major League Baseball catcher and current manager for the Los Angeles Angels.  He has worked in that capacity since the 2000 season, and is currently the longest-tenured manager in Major League Baseball and second longest-tenured coach/manager in the "Big Four" (MLB, NFL, NHL, and NBA), only behind Gregg Popovich.  As a player, Scioscia made his major league debut with the Los Angeles Dodgers in .  He was selected to two All-Star Games and won two World Series over the course of his 13-year MLB career, which was spent entirely with the Dodgers.  He was signed by the San Diego Padres and Texas Rangers late in his career, but never appeared in a major-league game for either team due to injury. Thomas Charles Lasorda (born September 22, 1927) is a former Major League Baseball pitcher who is best known for his two decades as manager of the Los Angeles Dodgers.  In 2017, he marked his 68th season in one capacity or another with the Brooklyn/Los Angeles Dodgers organization, the longest tenure anyone has had with the team, edging Dodger broadcaster Vin Scully by two seasons.  He was inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame as a manager in 1997. The 1992 Los Angeles Dodgers season was a poor one for the team as it finished last in the Western Division of the National League with a record of 63 wins and 99 losses.  Despite boasting what was nicknamed the "Outfield of Dreams", being manned by Eric Davis, Brett Butler, and Darryl Strawberry, injuries to key players and slumps from others contributed to the franchise's worst season since moving to Los Angeles.  Additionally, the Dodgers cancelled four home games during the season due to the L.A. Riots.  Despite the poor finish, the Dodgers had some hope for the future as first baseman Eric Karros won the National League Rookie of the Year Award, the first of five consecutive Dodger players to do so.  The 1992 season also saw the Dodgers drop television station KTTV Ch.11 as their chief broadcaster of Dodger baseball, ending a 34 year-35 consecutive season association with that station.  Additionally, it was the first time the Dodgers lost 90 games in a season since 1944. The 2016 Los Angeles Dodgers season was the 127th for the franchise in Major League Baseball, and their 59th season in Los Angeles, California.  They began the season with a new manager in Dave Roberts.  The Dodgers in 2016 set a new Major League record for the most players placed on the disabled list in one season.  On September 25, they clinched their fourth consecutive National League West division championship, the first team in the division ever to do so and defeated the Washington Nationals in five games in the Division Series.  They were defeated by the Chicago Cubs; the eventual World Series champion, in six games in the National League Championship Series.  This was the 67th and final season for Hall of Fame broadcaster Vin Scully. The 1996 season saw the Dodgers remain atop the standings most of the season.  However, longtime manager Tommy Lasorda suffered a heart attack in mid-season and had to step down.  Bill Russell, Lasorda's bench coach and a former Dodger player, was chosen to manage the rest of the season. The 6 ft , 205 lb right-hander was a high draft choice out of Oklahoma State.  First being selected by the Kansas City A's (who were unable to sign him) and next being selected in the first round (17th overall) by the Los Angeles Dodgers in the June 1967 Major League Baseball draft.  While with the Dodgers, Burchart led the Tommy Lasorda managed Ogden Dodgers to the 1967 pioneer league championship.  This was Lasorda's first professional championship as a manager.  Burchart was the winning pitcher in the championship game in which Lasorda commented that Burchart was one of the fiercest competitors he'd coached.  After two successful seasons in the Dodger farm system, the Dodgers were unable to protect Burchart from being drafted in the 1968 Rule 5 Major League Baseball draft by the Cleveland Indians.  The draft compelled Cleveland to keep Burchart on their Major League roster for the 1969 season or offer him back to the Dodgers.  Working as a relief pitcher for the Alvin Dark led Indians, Burchart allowed 42 hits and 24 bases on balls in 42⅓ innings pitched, with 26 strikeouts and no saves. Larry Don Miller (born June 19, 1937) was a pitcher in Major League Baseball.  He pitched from 1964 to 1966 for the Los Angeles Dodgers and New York Mets.  Before the 1959 season he was signed by the Los Angeles Dodgers as an amateur free agent.  Miller was traded by the Los Angeles Dodgers to the New York Mets for Dick Smith on October 15, 1964.  His final game was September 17, 1966. The Los Angeles Dodgers are a Major League Baseball franchise currently based in Los Angeles.  They play in the National League West division.  The franchise joined the American Association in 1884 as the "Brooklyn Atlantics".  They have been known in their early years as the "Brooklyn Grays" (1885–87), "Brooklyn Bridegrooms" (1888–90, 1896–98), "Brooklyn Grooms" (1891–95), "Brooklyn Superbas" (1899–1910, 1913), "Brooklyn Robins" (1914–31), and "Brooklyn Dodgers" (1911–12, 1932–57).  There have been 20 pitchers for the Dodgers that have thrown 25 no-hitters in franchise history.  A no-hitter is officially recognized by Major League Baseball only "...when a pitcher (or pitchers) allows no hits during the entire course of a game, which consists of at least nine innings.  In a no-hit game, a batter may reach base via a walk, an error, a hit by pitch, a passed ball or wild pitch on strike three, or catcher's interference".  No-hitters of less than nine complete innings were previously recognized by the league as official; however, several rule alterations in 1991 changed the rule to its current form.  A no-hitter is common enough that only one team in Major League Baseball has never had a pitcher accomplish the feat. The Dodgers–Yankees rivalry is a Major League Baseball (MLB) rivalry between the Los Angeles Dodgers and the New York Yankees.  The Dodgers are a member club of the National League (NL) West division, and the Yankees are a member club of the American League (AL) East division.  The rivalry between the Dodgers and Yankees is one of the most well-known rivalries in Major League Baseball.  The two teams have met 11 times in the World Series, more times than any other pair of teams from the American and National Leagues.  The initial significance was embodied in the two teams' proximity in New York City, when the Dodgers initially played in Brooklyn.  After the Dodgers moved to Los Angeles in 1958 , the rivalry retained its significance as the two teams represented the dominant cities on each coast of the United States, and since the 1980s, the two largest cities in the United States.  The Dodgers currently lead the regular season series 8-6. The 1977 Los Angeles Dodgers season had Tommy Lasorda replace longtime manager Walter Alston as Manager of the team.  The Dodgers won the National League West by 10 games and defeated the Philadelphia Phillies in four games in the NLCS, then lost to the New York Yankees in the World Series.
