Fernando Valenzuela, the legendary Mexican baseball player and Los Angeles Dodgers star, died on Tuesday at the age of 63 after a prolonged illness. His health was already raising concerns among fans when he was hospitalized on September 30, shortly before making a surprising announcement regarding his broadcasting career.
Days before his hospitalization, Valenzuela revealed he would not return to KTNQ-AM for the 2024 Major League Baseball (MLB) season after 21 consecutive years of Spanish-language broadcasts. The decision came just as the postseason approached, leaving many in the baseball community puzzled as he offered little explanation for his departure.
