Dodgers Spanish-Language Broadcaster Jaime Jarrín Pays Respects To Diego Maradona

The sports world is in mourning following the loss of Argentine soccer great Diego Maradona earlier this week. He passed away at the age of 60 after suffering a heart attack in his home of Buenos Aires.

Considered one of the best soccer players of all time, Maradona rose to the peak of his fame in the mid-1980s, spending time with Barcelona, Boca Juniors and Napoli.

Maradona is perhaps most famous for his performance in the 1986 World Cup, when he scored the “Hand of God” goal to lead Argentina over England in the quarter-finals. Maradona scored two more goals against Belgium in the semifinals and was credited with the game-winning assist against West Germany in the finals.
