Former star pitcher Fernando Valenzuela passed away last week at the age of 63. Fernando, as everyone affectionately called him, rose to baseball superstardom in the early 1980s while playing for the Dodgers. In the years that followed, he played for several other MLB teams including the San Diego Padres. But his legacy is not limited to the baseball field. He was influential in expanding the game to more Latino players and fans, in both the United States and Mexico. We hear about Fernando’s legacy from Eduardo Ortega, the Padres’ Spanish-language broadcaster.
