  • Fernando Valenzuela, RIP

    Omg, just days before the Dodgers are in the WS. One of my childhood idols. I can’t believe it.

    I remember Fernandomania in 1981. It wasn't just a Los Angeles thing. It was a nationwide phenomenon.

                Thanks for posting this, it is really interesting, lots of history, and less focus on his amazing rookie year than I expected, but I really enjoyed it so far, I have made it there 2/3rds.
