Fernando Valenzuela, the iconic Mexican-born pitcher who sparked 'Fernandomania' with the Los Angeles Dodgers, passed away at 63. Known for his unique pitching style and formidable presence on the mound, Valenzuela made MLB history by earning the Rookie of the Year and Cy Young awards in 1981. His legacy includes a World Series victory, six consecutive All-Star appearances, and his role as a Spanish-language broadcaster for the Dodgers. Despite stepping away due to health issues earlier in October, he remained a cherished figure, with his number retired by the team in 2023. His influence significantly increased the Dodgers' Latino fanbase and bridged cultural gaps in Los Angeles. The Dodgers and Major League Baseball have announced they will honor him during the upcoming World Series.
