He stopped announcing when the playoffs started due to what was assumed was an illness. His family was very secretive about his condition.

I never heard this before. When OMalley bought the Chavez Ravine property where Dodger Stadium is located, he evicted some Mexican families who lived there and till Fernando, the Dodgers didnt have much love from the Hispanic community (at least according to one acct I read today).

The history of Chavez Ravine is very interesting. It was a very large Mexican community over a long period time until the Dodgers came to town.

Caught a few minutes of CNN last night and Dana Bash did a segment on Jewish voters in PA. So many who do not like Trump but believe he's better to stop antisemitism and better for Israel. That's a demographic that is traditionally democratic that CNN was talking like they expect it to change this time around in such an important state.

A few percentage points here a few more over there and this race will be over. Losing points with Jewish voters, black and Latino men, union workers. Trump going to do a 3 hour interview this Friday with Joe Rogan. Talk about a demographic KH needs to get her message out too, he invited her and has 17 million listeners. Lots of those 17 million voters are men under 45. She turned it down, can you imagine the damage she would do in a 3 hour interview with some one calling her out when she doesn’t answer the question. She probably would request breaks to make 3 hours and not sure she even has a message to get out there to Joe Rogan’s audience.

Fernando Valenzuela has died. What a career. I think he threw five shutouts in his first five games. Cy Young and ROY his first season. 2 time WS winner. The killer screwball and the look to the skies before the release. Fernando Mania!!!

I saw one of those shutouts at Shea. As I remember, the Mets had bases loaded and a few on in the early innings but didnt score. I was in Mexicon on vacation, walking past an old bar in Puerto Vallarta with my girl when a roar went up. I peaked in to see what happened, and saw Fernando on the TV. 55 young Mexican guys, my girl and I watched the Dodgers that night. Cervezas for everyone!!

RIP

Started his rookie year with 8 consecutive Complete Games allowing just 2 runs in his first 63 innings! Unbelievable!

Timing of his passing is so strange with the pending series with the Bombers and the Dodgers.

Brings back memories. Can't believe it's been 43 years! My dear uncle was kind enough to take my cousin and I to game 3 of the 81 World Series where the 2 ROY phenoms, Fernando and Righetti met for a dream match up. Too bad the dream didn't end the way we wanted it but was an amazing experience.
