Tommy Lasorda has just been injected into the nasty divorce between Los Angeles Dodgers owners Frank and Jamie McCourt -- and the baseball legend may not even know it.
In court papers filed today, Frank describes a conversation he had with Tommy Lasorda back in September, in which the Dodger Hall-of-Famer "surprised" Frank by asking if he was going to an event honoring Lasorda at the Smithsonian in D.C.
Frank claims he had "no knowledge" of the event -- and it was Jamie's duty to tell him about stuff like that.
Frank claims the Lasorda incident was just another example of how Jamie was keeping Dodgers management out of "the loop" -- and uses this example to justify firing her from her job as CEO of the team.

He's not even a shoe-in to play -- but the mere rumor that suspended L.A. Dodgers cheater Manny Ramirez will make his baseball comeback with a AAA team in New Mexico is already sending ticket sales "through the roof."
After the L.A. Times reported Manny would join the Albuquerque Isotopes line-up on Tuesday, a rep for the team told us phones began ringing off the hook for tickets and a line formed "around the block 30 minutes before the box-office opened its doors." FYI -- the rep told us the Dodgers haven't officially confirmed Manny's return.
Manny is currently serving a 50-game suspension after testing positive for a performance-enhancing drug back in May -- and the reason the Dodgers would send him to the minor leagues would be to ease him back into form.
Meanwhile, the Manny-less Dodgers have the best record in baseball.
