Fernando Valenzuela: Were the Dodgers Right to Change Number Retirement Policy?

Here at Dodgers Nation, we believe in setting our own path, marching to the beat of our own drummer, not being confined to the strictures of society. So when we see “Betteridge’s Law of Headlines,” which states, “Any headline that ends in a question mark can be answered by the word ‘no,'” we think to ourselves, “Can we write a headline with a question where the answer, instead of ‘no,’ is ‘heck yeah’?”

Well, folks, we’ve done it! The headline on this very article is a question, and the answer most definitely is not “no.” The Dodgers will be retiring the number 34 this summer in honor of Fernando Valenzuela, one of the most iconic players and people in Los Angeles history.
