I never saw him pitch, in person, but I recall how nuts, Dodger fans were, during Fernandomania.

R.I.P. Fernando

I had the pleasure of watching him pitch many times.

Always represented himself with class.

Plus he was used as a pinch hitter.
Very special man and athlete.

Back in the day (late 80') there was Photo Day right after Spring Training, and the fans would get the opportunity to go down to the field and take pictures of any player as they signed photographs.

Players were not behind any barrier, just a simple yellow tape separating fan and player. I had the opportunity to attend one of those events and took pictures of just about everyone: Sax, Garvey, Guerrero, Cey, Scioscia, Baker, Lasorda, Landreux, Howe, Lopes, Reuss, Fernando, etc., etc.

I met Fernando and this event and took his photograph and picture.

I met him again and his family at a restaurant I worked in Hollywood.


Great memories from back then, up until now.

Baseball & Dodger fan since I can remember.

My Momacita, was a Tejana, from El P. She had no interest in sports, but after Fernando, came on the scene, she never missed a game on TV.

The joke was: when he was a kid, a scout saw him throwing rocks across the Gulf of California.
