This will be a pretty emotional World Series for LA.
Fernandomania will be running wild.

On October 1, 2024, it was announced that Valenzuela had been hospitalized for an undisclosed illness. He died on October 22, 2024, at the age of 63, two days after the Dodgers clinched the National League pennant.

I believe he was on a Hall of Fame track before he broke down.
He'll always be remembered for 1981, but he was an ace during a two-year span in 1985-86, only being outmatched in the NL by Doc Gooden. In the 1986 All-Star Game in Houston, he struck out five straight batters like Carl Hubbell famously did in the 1930s. And he was the American dream. The youngest of 12 children that grew up on a farm in Mexico. |

Luis Tiant and now Fernando.
Two larger than life baseball legends gone. All my contemporaries are slowly passing to the great beyond.

My favorite story about Fernando was when he first came up to the show, he couldn’t speak English and Tommy Lasorda would come to the mound. The other players taught him to say “Take a hike fatso”.
