    55 yr old Hispanic born a couple miles from Dodger Stadium. I can't stop crying. He meant so much to me and too so many. Unless you lived through 1981 you have no idea how huge Fernadomania was. The Hispanic fan base is such a huge part of Dodger Blue, and he was a hero for all Dodger fans. I kept his box score of his no hitter in my wallet until I lost the wallet a few years back. I loved pulling it out just to remember how much he mean to me. Rest in peace El Toro!

    Thank you Fernando for making a difference and a huge impact on the hispanic community in Los Angeles. As a little boy growing & being raised up in East LA ,I would look up to you, You were a big inspiration for a lot of mexicans.My parents who spoke no English I would recall sitting with them and tuning into the dodger game And they would root for you in spanish not even knowing the sport ,as you would pitch away... It was then that I knew my blood & heart had turned blue, and Started rooting hard for the Dodgers!!! Rest Easy Fernando ,We will bring this title home for you in your honor. #34 #VALENZUELAFOREVER #GOBLUE #BLEEDBLUE #GODODGERS #WORLDSERIES2024

    Fernando Valenzuela (1960-2024)
    A Pitching Legend's Eternal Legacy
    With screwball magic, he captured hearts,
    Fernando Valenzuela, an unforgettable start.
    Dodger blue, his iconic home,
    1981's rookie sensation, forever to roam.
    Cy Young Award, World Series wins,
    No-hitters, shutouts, and record-breaking spins.
    Seven All-Star games, a storied name,
    National League Rookie of the Year, eternal fame.
    Fernandomania's craze, a nation's delight,
    Sports Illustrated's cover, shining bright.
    Latinx pride, a cultural bridge,
    Fernando's impact, an enduring legacy to pledge.
    Though his journey's ended, his legend remains,
    Inspiring generations, through baseball's domains.
    His humility, perseverance, and heart,
    Forever etched in the game's history and art.
    Rest in peace, Fernando Valenzuela,
    Your legacy lives on, an eternal appeal.

    the 80's. What has happened to Pro baseball since then and all the rules and the reason
    for all the pitching changes, it's just too bad. May Mr. Valenzuela Rest In Peace !!!

I a 9 year old white kid, Fernando was no different then my favorite player at the time Steve Garvey; just the next great Dodger. Thank you Fernando for bringing so many great memories to us Dodgers & leaving the world a better place because your love of baseball.

    I've attended probably 100 games in Montreal and still have memories of many of them. One of those was the first time Fernando pitched against the Expos. It was early May 1981. Dad said, let's go see the Expos Sunday, make the nearly two and half hour drive. Place was packed, mainly because the Expos were good then and some probably wanted to see what this Valenzuela kid was all about. He had not lost yet, I think he was 5-0 or 6-0, dad said we'll hand him his first loss. Score was tied at one after nine, Dodgers scored a few times in the tenth and Fernando was still unbeaten.
    He was also the starter for Game 5 of the NLCS that year after the previous game was rained out. That was the Blue Monday game which Montreal fans remember to this day but had it not rained, Fernando would not have started and the Expos might have gone to the World Series, so he had a big part in getting the Dodgers there, in my view as much, if not more, as that Rick Monday home run.
    It's funny because a few weeks ago, someone mentioned his name to me, "what was that pitcher's name, Venezuela?". "No, Valenzuela". Sad to hear of his passing this morning at a young age, I'm just a couple years younger.

    I remember gm 5 of the 85 NLCS ( The Ozzie Smith HR game) Fernando started that game and he was amazing, not that he was great, but he just battled, he was on the ropes throughout the game, but hung in there and gave them a chance. RIH # 34.

    San Diego even had Fernadomania when the Dodgers came to town during his time with them. It was something to see as the stadium was packed full of Dodger and Fernando fans.

    Vin hurt, Tommy hurt, but this one hurts bad. He was the reason I became a lifelong Dodger fan when I was 5 years old
