For you baseball guys, the Fernando Valenzuela

[Smart]

30-30 on ESPN was a great piece. I remember Fernando-mania as a 12 year old boy and even had a Fernando Valenzuela Rawlings glove. I can even remember trying to roll my eyes up before delivery when I pitched in Pop Warner/Little League etc. That didn't work out too well....lol

Just a great time in baseball....even as a kid.


On a side note....Now there is a Josh Hamilton Homecoming with Rick Reilly on ESPN2

As a 'Stros fan prior to realignment in the early eighties, I HATED the Dodgers, and of course, Fernando!

After playing through high school and college, I was so completely burned out on baseball. I give Ron Washington credit for getting me back into the game with smart, aggressive, strategic baseball......

The style of game the Rangers play has finally made the game fun for me again!

I wouldn't classify the Rangers as "young"

they have the 12th oldest roster in baseball with an avg age of 28.6 yrs (30 teams)

IMO ... they believe, they play as a TEAM, and they are peaking at the right time


go rangers

Fernando breathed through his eye lids!

[DaveS903]

He was a super hero in his day. It is a shame that super players now days all seem to be tied to performance enhancing drugs.

[Walking Eagle]

Fernando has nothing on Kenny Powers!!!

Used to love watching the fat vato pitch. That was a good time in baseball.

Anybody remember the Pirate's sidearmed pitcher, John Candelaria? He was one of my favorites.

Was Candelaria a side arm pitcher?

or are you talking about Kent Tekulve the long tall skinny side armed pitcher with the dark glasses.....He's another one I tried to mimic.
