Valenzuela made his MLB debut in 1980 but truly burst onto the scene one year later, where he won the National League Cy Young, Rookie of the Year and made his first All-Star team, sweeping up Los Angeles in “Fernandomania.”

In that 1981 season — which he also claimed a Silver Slugger — he helped the Dodgers defeat the Yankees in the World Series.

He pitched 17 years in the big leagues, winning 173 games and holding a 3.54 ERA.

Over the last 22 years, he was a Spanish language broadcaster for the Dodgers.
