They were just talking about him this morning on the news because today a well known artist started painting a large mural of him in E. LA today..geesh.
And at the office today we were also talking about him, "fernandomania" and also, "Mr October," from the last go-around years ago.
The story lines for this World Series continue to grow. Fernando pitched against the Yanks in the 1981 series. You best believe the Dodgers will be playing for more than just a World Series win.
He was dapper looking in retirement. Last interview we saw he wasn't looking too good.
Sad, brought lots of fun and energy to the games and was a really good person, very family devoted.
My FIL was good friend’s with Fernando and his family. I’ve met him a handful of times back when they golfed together at Montebello CC. I remember one time sitting there for HOURS drinking Miller Lite on ice listening to him tell stories. Man, 63 is too young.
