Dodgers great Fernando Valenzuela, the Mexican pitcher who, in 1981, won the Cy Young award, Rookie of the Year, and a World Series ring, has died. He was 63.
It was hard not to know who Valenzuela was in the early '80's, when Fernandomania was the rage and his arm seemed invicible. He would spend nearly two decades in MLB, although he would never again reach the heights of greatness of the early '80's.
RIP.
