“Fernando Valenzuela, a Mexican-born lefthanded pitcher who led the Dodgers to a World Series win over the New York Yankees and forever transformed the team’s fanbase, died Tuesday. He was 66. The Los Angeles Dodgers announced his death online, days after he stepped away from his duties as a Spanish-language broadcaster for the team with an undisclosed illness. His death comes just three days before the Dodgers are set to meet the New York Yankees in the World Series for the first time since 1981 — when Valenzuela won a crucial game.” (10/23/24)
