Remembering Fernando Valenzuela 1960 - 2024

Fernandomanía por siempre. Fernandomania forever.

The Los Angeles Dodgers franchise, with seven World Series championships and 25 National League pennants since its beginnings in Brooklyn in 1890, is committed to a tradition of pride and excellence. The Dodgers are dedicated to supporting a culture of winning baseball, providing a first-class, fan-friendly experience at Dodger Stadium, and building a strong partnership with the community. With the highest cumulative fan attendance in Major League Baseball history, and a record of breaking barriers, the Dodgers are one of the most cherished sports franchises in the world.

Man, he was the reason I knew about the Dodgers and fell in love with baseball, all the way from The Netherlands. I even asked my parents to bring me a Dodgers outfit when they went to LA, which I wore during practice. RIP, my hero.

This one hurts bad. I was a kid going to Dodger games with my dad during Fernandomania. We were at the no hitter in 1990. So many fantastic moments and memories. He was such an icon. His impact culturally and on the game is legendary. Fernandomania Forever. Rest in power, El Toro 💙

Vin Scully always said it best: “… and a little child shall lead them.”

[TdawggLA]

I still remember being a kid during Fernandomania. What a great time. 8 shutouts. But 8 complete games? Unheard of in today's game

Shine on Fernando Valenzuela, shine on....Aloha

[alescalante]

I was 10 and I attended that opening day with my classroom from Montebello Park Elementary! You will be missed El Toro! RIP #34

[JamesDavidWalley]

This one really hurts. I was born in L.A. and followed the Dodgers during the first part of my youth, but then we moved away and I eventually became attached to the team from my new home. I returned to Los Angeles for school in 1979, just in time to witness the rise of Fernandomania and the improbable World Series championship of 1981. Of course, I was familiar with many Dodgers stars, but Fernando was the first who was younger than me. He will always be "the kid, " as far as I'm concerned, and it seems unimaginable that he's gone while I'm still here.

Farewell to my paisano Fernando “El Toro” Valenzuela. My grandparents, my parents and my uncles spoke about his greatest performances. Now the Dodgers must win this World Series for him.

[johnnyboyjohns]

Thank you, Fernando, for being part of my memories in this life.
Thank you, for your love of the game. Rest in His peace and Blue Heaven 😔🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Q.E.P.D. 😢

RIP Fernando Valenzuela. It was a family event every time he pitched and it was so exciting! I'm sure the Dodgers can find more than 3 minutes and 24 seconds worth of video of one of the greatest Dodgers who ever played!
