Wow, far too soon. He was one of the more impactful players of his era. RIP

Valenzuela’s magical 1981 season will always be remembered. Great career for the Dodgers and indeed highly impactful for all of baseball. RIP.

A piece of my heart broke off today when I heard the news. He was something special. I well remember Fernandomania. Even we Angels fans went crazy over him and became Dodgers fans on the days he pitched.

May El Toro Rest In Peace. He was loved by millions and baseball seems a little more lonely today with ‘Nando gone.

hmm, that's why his 30/30 was on yesterday

does Valenzuela deserve to be in the HOF?

That’s a good question
From a stat wise, probably not but for a contribution to the game, you could make a good argument

Yeah, he was incredible for a short while but I'd put him in for his cultural impact.
