It’s been 42 years since “Fernandomania” took hold in Los Angeles. Now, the iconic pitcher will be immortalized at Dodger Stadium.
The Dodgers announced Saturday that they will be retiring Fernando Valenzuela’s No. 34 jersey during the 2023 season during a three-day “Fernandomania” celebration. The festivities will begin on Aug. 11, when Valenzuela’s jersey officially will be displayed.
A collector’s edition bobblehead will be given out on Aug. 12, and a replica 1981 World Series ring will be the giveaway on Aug. 13.
