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
