LA Dodger great Fernando Valenzuela 1984 snapper
I recently picked up this circa 1984 snapshot of LHP Fernando Valenzuela.
I love the image! Fernando was literally the man in the early 1980's and Fernandomania hit LA hard. A great time to be an LA Dodger fan. Although it was surprisingly later in his career, on June 29th, 1990, Fernando pitched his only career no-hitter. What was especially cool was that he hurled it in LA in front of the hometown Dodgers faithful. Ironically, ex-Dodger Dave Stewart also pitched his own no-hitter against the Toronto Blue Jays @ TOR on the same day in 1990. To the best of my knowledge, this is the only time in ML history that two no-hitters were pitched on the same day... |
