Some players just make an impact on a city and franchise. You can’t describe it, but just be thankful for them.
For the Dodgers, one of those players is Fernando Valenzuela. Valenzuela is one of the most historic Dodgers in franchise history and deserves all the praise being thrown at him this weekend.
The team is finally retiring his jersey number, a decision that was made despite a policy in place where the team doesn’t retire numbers of players who aren’t in the Baseball Hall of Fame. However, an exception was made for Valenzuela.
