Cubs fan who lived in pico Robertson in the mid and late 80s... fernandomania was something else

This Padres fan pays his respects to Dodger fans for their loss. Win the World Series for Fernando!

Rest in peace Fernando. You were an inspiration to me as a young Mexican and I felt proud to be a Mexican Dodger fan! My heart is broken!

Glad I met him 2 times man , such an amazing human being

Viva Los Dodgers!! As a Mexican American and a Dodger fan, I got to see the beginning of Fernando Valenzuela's career in 1981 and the beginning of Fernandomania. Thank you, Fernando Valenzuela (El Toro), for the memories!! My prayers and condolences to the Valenzuela family 🙏🙏🙏

REST in peace the great Fernando Valenzuela. A Giant to Baseball. Its now a Star in the Universe 😞🙏🏻✝️👍🤨😞☹️😲‼️🫶🏻🙏🏻✝️

Such bitter sweet for Fernando he played the World Series towards the Yankees in 1981 & here we are playing the Yankees Friday wow RIP

Well done, boys

When they retired his number earlier this year, I took notice to how he looked, knowing he has always been a chubby faced guy and kind of had my sneaking suspicions before the recent announcements of his health. Sadly it seems my hunch was correct. So yeah, maybe the organization knew some things we didn't at the time.

But some silver linings within this dreary cloud that some others have mentioned is that we have one of the brightest stages set to spread Fernando's story to those who are outside of LA, outside of the Dodgers. Just how baseball can bring people together across generations, nationalities, backgrounds and so on. Especially with the international eyes upon this World Series thanks to the likes of Shohei and Yoshinobu. So while we mourn the loss of a legendary figure in our team and community, we should not forget to celebrate what he's done as well.

Lifelong Dodger fan who was born and raised near the Bay Area my dad would always take us to every single Valenzuela start at Candlestick Park. RIP Toro 😢

I loved that you stopped your planned show and paid tribute to Fernando for a few minutes upon hearing the bad news.
Well done guys!👏🏼

Through his first six seasons, Valenzuela won 97 games, threw 84 complete games and posted a 2.97 ERA while never landing on the injured list.

Rest in peace Fernando Valenzuela you will always be a Dodger Legend😢

I hope the Dodgers do something special before Game 1 to honor El Toro.

Lifelong Dodgers fan from Florida. I loved watching him when i was a kid in the early 80s. My wife is Latina (from San Jose) a Giants fan & her maiden name is Valenzuela. We were just at Dodgers Stadium back in August (Rays) we actually got to see him! We will always cherish that memory.

😢 Fernando Valenzuela 1960-2024 #34 ⚾️

I am so sorry Vince I could tell that hurt you to announce. Fernando meant a lot to all of Los Angeles!

As if this World Series wasn’t important already…. RIP 34

This is incredibly sad — at dodger fan fest this year I walked past him with my wife and daughter while entering the stadium. The inner me wanted to stop and ask for a picture but I’m sure so many people did that… RIP to a legend.

Viva Valenzuela

Dodgers win it for Fernando. Lets go dodgers.

Certainly will be missed, but never forgotten. RIP Fernando 🙏

Oh this hurts bad. 😥 We love you, Fernando! RIP, El Toro 🙏🙏🙏

It sucks for Rojas but, indeed, it's better for the team to go as they did in the NLCS.

As a Yankees fan, I want the LA Dodgers 😫 fans to know that I am sorry 😞 😔 😟 for the death 😢 😔 😞 of Fernando Valenzuela. He would have been the one who will throw the first pitch of the opening World 🌎 Series this Friday night 🌙 game. Rest in peace 🙏 🪦 😌 Fernando Valenzuela. LA LOVE ❤️ 😍 YOU.
