Angelinos, especially Latinos, mourn the death of Fernando Valenzuela

Julia Méndez spent three months writing a letter that she made available to fans at Dodger Stadium. Luego sacó a burrito envuelto in aluminum paper and lo apoyó contra el poste.

“Se que él comió burritos toda su vida,” said the 70-year-old fanatic, resident of North Hollywood, who had to eat in his kitchen the Trigo-Harina tortilla with huevos revueltos y nopales – an edible cactus that I know in Mexico .

The city of Los Angeles was elevated by Fernando Valenzuela, the Dodgers' Mexican lancer, who inspired “Fernandomania” with its peculiar miraculousness as it prepared to leave the Montículo and with his unforgettable actions throughout the decade 1980.

El “Toro” Valenzuela fell victim to March 63 years ago.

“I read it in the United States in 1976. I wrote it in 1979. I said it when I came to my orgul and my family,” said Méndez, the former Mexican state of Sonora near Valenzuela. “If our names are very big, the community today is fanatical.” “Le expresso mi amor por todos estos años”.

The rise of Valenzuela from its most humble communities like 12 years ago in a community known on the map of Mexico has recently become enormously popular and influential in the Latin American community Ayudó A new fan of the game of the Grandes Ligas. The Cariño de la Gente remains intact even after its withdrawal.

In addition to the Intersección, Jaime Cuéllar's Mariachi Garibaldi played his guitars and trumpets.

The group was a regular at Dodgers games and gathered for a television program that aired from New York before the World Series against the Yankees. The integrators are waiting to be honored with their music by “Toro”.

The Las Grandes Ligas and the Dodgers came up with a plan to honor Valenzuela as a fourteen-year-old, before the first game of the Serie Mundial.

Wearing the white, blue and white color, a large sombrero and a colored serape, Mexican craftsmanship is practiced just before a Frazada. Méndez was just a player in the Dodgers’ “D” second season. The letter was an equally symbolic reunion day in 2022, when Vin Scully, member of the Salón de la Fama de los Dodgers, died at the age of 94.

Henry Gómez, of Gardena, was 6 years old and was born in Tianna when she created an improvised altar for Cerrado Stadium. He was reading a letter from the Señalización bottle when he received a recipe that he had created with his father on site to dejaren.

“It’s one of the Hispanic gods for us,” Gómez Padre said. “Abrió muchas puertas para mucha gente detrás de él. Estamos orgullosos de eso”.

In the Boyle Heights neighborhood, not far from the stadium, Robert Vargas was busy painting a Valenzuela mural on the waterfront of a building. Mexico's rising artist is reunited with his friends on a grand staircase and in the open air around the world.

The mural of Dodgers superstar Shohei Ohtani on the waterfront of a Little Tokyo hotel has been turned into a tourist attraction.

During their race in the stadium, three men agreed in the dark about the stories of Valenzuela at Monticul.

Gómez had the opportunity to explore the Mano of Valenzuela a few years ago.

“It was really brilliant, a good guy,” he said. “Cuando eres famous, ésa es la manera en que deberías ser, tal como el fernando style.”

Fans have been back at the park since March when they received the bold announcement.

Marcello Ambriz took a photo of him taking a photo with the Lanzador 2 years ago.

“The Mexicans are not serious fans of the Dodgers without Fernando,” he said.

The land on which Dodger Stadium stood was purchased by Spanish owners from the city of Los Angeles 50 years ago. Initially, the residents rejected the sale and the city repeated the expropriation to dispossess the immobile families of the Mexican states, many universities and many people because they were discriminated against in other parts of the city.

“Hay muchos sentimentos muy tristes sobre eso,” said Ambriz. “Fernando can’t dare to repair himself. It is obvious that he has many people who have inherited and cannot leave them, and that is understandable, but the presence of Fernando and the hope that the Fuera of México is there for once.”

Valenzuela was 64 years old on November 1st when the Dodgers finished the sixth game of the Serie Mundial. On the 2nd Memorial Day we remember the Day of Muertos, which is of great importance for Mexican culture.

“Don't worry about starting tristes because life surrounds them to stay in our hearts,” said Méndez. “Logró el sueño americano, more than that, really”.
