💭 Confession: I bleed #Chicago #Cubs blue, with a secret second team. Da #Dodgers snuck in during #Fernandomania. 1st #WorldSeries I watched: 81’—Fernando’s hypnotic windup + screwball made baseball feel like magic. Fun fact: 11/11/1981 he was the 1st rookie #CyYoung. 💙⚾️ @dodgersnation.bsky.social

Happy Fernando Valenzuela Day! #FernandoValenzuela #FernandoMania 🙂💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙⚾️

When Valenzuela died in 2024 Dodger Stadium was festooned with El Tri #Fernandomania 💪🏽🇲🇽🥎

February 19, 1983: The Day Fernando Valenzuela Pushed Baseball Salaries Forward Before we get into this, I thought arbitration in baseball was just a normal part of the game—players wanted more money, teams tried to stop them, and eventually, a deal was made. But I didn’t know…

Feb. 19, 1983: Fernando Valenzuela changed baseball’s business side forever. 💰⚾

✅ Took the Dodgers to arbitration & won $1M—a first for a young star.
✅ Set a precedent for bigger salaries before free agency.
✅ Helped reshape how MLB teams pay top talent.

This is a picture what I also got myself for Christmas. I got myself a Los Angeles Dodgers jersey of Fernando Valenzuela. This is my second Los Angeles Dodgers jersey that I owned. I'm going to wear this jersey to honor Fernando Valenzuela. #FernandoMania 🙂💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙⚾️🇲🇽🌲

An Appreciation: Fernando Valenzuela and Fernandomania Fernando Valenzuela, who died on Tuesday at age 63, was a teenage phenomenon from Mexico who remade the Dodgers’ fan base and put his country on the baseball map.

I had forgotten about Fernando Venezuela. He was huge when my family moved to LA in 1981, he was part of the cultural landscape of my childhood. I found myself smiling in memory as I read this. RIP, good man.

I remember my dad talking about #Fernandomania: https://thelatinonewsletter.org/p/fernandomania-forever

‘Fernando Valenzuela, Pitcher Whose Screwballs Eluded Batters, Dies at 63 The Los Angeles Dodgers star won the Rookie of the Year and Cy Young Awards in 1981, when "Fernandomania" made him a household name and filled ballparks.’ With a picture of Fernando pitching in his blue & white Dodgers home uniform.

Rest in Peace, Fernando Valenzuela. I loved you as a young baseball fan. There was no one else like you. ⚾️ 🇲🇽 🔵⚪️ #MLB #LosAngelesDodgers #Mexico #LosAngeles #DodgerBlue #BaseballPitchers #Fernandomania #RIPFernando
