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.
