    "It is the 29th of June, in case someday, long from now, Fernando is playing this back to his grandchildren"
    Only Vin Scully could have added that wonderful little line to allude to the significance of the moment. A lot of other broadcasters might have been less elegant and more matter-of-fact, or alternatively been oblivious to it all and simply rambled on about some statistic. I love how Scully has this sixth sense of broadcasting the game as a whole, with such a global appreciation for what is happening that went beyond simply chronicling the on-field actions.

    EL TORO was a gift from the Baseball God's. He came from a very small village in the middle of nowhere Mexico & ONLY a Teenager! He was brought to Country he knew very little about, where he didn't know the language & was suddenly thrust on to a pitching mound that sat in the middle of a Stadium more grandioso than anything he'd ever imagined, but in the middle of all this what must have been pure chaos to him, he always had immense poise, he never seamed overwhelmed or shaken by it, he was simply amazing 🙏
    I was a 19yr old kid in So-Cal myself in 1980, I'm happy to say I saw Fernando-Mania & experienced it in all it's Glory. There were "I ♥️ Fernando" & "I Survived Fernando-Mania" tee-shirts all over So-Calif & below, Bakersfield to the southern tip of Mexico itself. If you're a Dodger fan you know EL TORO is LEGEND 🙏

On this days game I was 4 days into my Marine Corps boot camp at MCRD San Diego 6 days after graduating and most likely watching the fireworks from Sea World at night from my top bunk facing the windows.

All those screwballs and high pitch counts and complete games made his arm a noodle. 1986 20 complete games in 1 yr? Amazing
