When I was 14 years old, I went to a Junior Dodger's summer camp event with my sister, her friend and her two younger siblings, there I met Fernando Valenzuela — I'll never forget that moment standing on the field and him signing a baseball for me, hugging me, telling me "Never give up, mija. Remember to follow your dreams, si se puede" after I told him I was a really big fan and thanking him for being my hero. I'll never be able to forget the scent of his cologne smelling so wonderful and him being incredibly warm, loving, inspiring and a generous soul. He also said he wanted us to meet some of his friends and took us into the dugout where we met Manny Mota and A.J. Ellis, all three men were wonderful and signed that baseball. My sister and I fangirl(ed) uncontrollably for hours, for days and still to this day.

Fernando, thank you for such a wonderful memory, being the reason why my dad and I bonded so well, for being a God, a hero and a role model to kids and people like me and for all that you did in your life, we're very grateful.

Te amamos Fernie 💙

The Rise of Fernando Valenzuela and the Phenomenon of Fernandomania

The Remarkable Journey of Fernando Valenzuela The tale of Fernando Valenzuela reads like a captivating fairy tale. Picture a bashful, portly teenager hailing from a minuscule town in Mexico, the youngest among a bustling family of 12 children, growing up in a humble abode that lacked even the most basic amenities, such as running water. At just 19 years old, he made his grand debut with the Los…

Fernando Valenzuela Anguamea,

From Etchohuaquila, Mexico, Fernandomania took baseball by storm. Like the lava lizards of the Galapagos Islands, breathing through your eyes to throw the nastiest of screwball, the world wasn't ready.

For years, he was the voice to so many around the world. I'm so glad you became immortalized with your number retirement.

Even without being in the hall of fame you'll always be a cornerstone to Dodger history

We will forever miss you.

"If you have a sombrero, throw it to the sky!"

RIP, "El Toro"

Fernando Valenzuela, one of the most influential Dodgers didn’t seek the spotlight and was largely anonymous until the season after his 1980 debut.

That all changed in 1981, when he captivated Los Angeles and fans around the world by winning each of his first eight starts of the season for the Dodgers. The stretch included seven complete games and five shutouts. He struck out 68 and allowed four earned runs in 72 innings for a 0.50 ERA during the magical run.

The performance gave birth to Fernandomania, a phenomenon that still resonates with baseball fans. Even now, they wear his No. 34 jersey, share stories of watching him pitch and tuned into Spanish broadcasts for his analysis.

Born Fernando Valenzuela Anguamea on November 1, 1960 in Navojoa, Mexico and died October 22, 2024 in Los Angeles, California

"He came to this country known only as Fernando, left this world being Fernando, and the memories of his beautiful innocence will be forever cherished in Los Angeles folklore.

Everyone who saw him pitch understands it was a privilege.

Well, it was a greater honor to know him.

What a legend."

Washington Redskins 92nd Anniversary 1932 2024 T Shirt

My stepfamily – my brother, brother’s wife, and her kids (which he adopted) – have many wonderful qualities, but organisation is not one of Washington Redskins 92nd Anniversary 1932 2024 T Shirt. Even when I was 15 my brother (18 years older than me) would call me, panicking, on Christmas Eve, wanting me to come shopping and help pick out stuff for his girlfriend. Now that he’s married and in his fifties, he no longer calls me for shopping help, but I expect he still leaves a lot of it till Christmas Eve. This year I’ve been texting him and my niece since September, asking what to get for my nephew and his partner (who I don’t know that well, and I’ve never met his partner), my niece’s partner (ditto), and five kids (I was never an average kid and have no idea what to buy children, as shown by a couple years ago, when I bought the 3-year-old a box set of the Chronicles of Narnia, and then was startled when I was gently told that 3-year-olds can’t read. I taught myself to read with Enid Blyton at 3, and my dad gave me Narnia by the end of that year, but apparently this is not the norm).
