“If you have a sombrero, throw it to the sky” 😢🥺 Cant believe Vin is no longer with us. Such a legend
One of my favorite of Vin's calls. Such an iconic moment.
And then instead of blathering on about Fernando's no-hitter, he did what Vin did best. Let the crowd react, and Fernando have his moment. "Modern" broadcasters would have been yammering about meaningless stuff over and over.
He’d probably get called a racist and get canceled if he were still announcing in todays world😮
@@Mr-Soto "He'd probably"...love how you claim to know exactly what WOULD happen which is, obviously, IMPOSSIBLE to prove or disprove.
@@ThomasFromTN In todays climate it's highly likely there would be certain groups calling that racist. I doubt those groups would be Mexican though.
As a Puertorican baseball fan I always love when Latinos players excel in the field...what this Mexican did for baseball and for the people of Mexico was historic....his number should be retire....Fernando fuistes el mejor en tu tiempo...tu legado vivirà por siempre.
Sr. Benitez. Much agreed. AND as a second-generation 'puro' Mexican-American born and raised in the suburbs of LA it was weirdly great to see a Latino from "la patria de mi padres" come in from out of nowhere and just blow everybody away. He left a HUGE mark in this city. ¡Viva Fernando!
@@boblozaintherealworld3577 to this day it stills amaze me how he could find the plate after looking upwards to the sky ....like asking for divine intervention in every pitch ☺👍
@@Liberal_US_Army_Vet ¡exactamente! I was just hoping somebody was making sure he touched all the bases. but obviously, these guys are pros.
Well said Mr. Benitez.. He a legend in Mexico
Mijo, they don’t want to give Latinos credit!!! What Fernando did is historical!!!
Fernando always looked like he was chugging beers in the parking lot before game time. Love him
He look more like an high school math teacher to me 😂
“Before”? More like “during”…or both…
When they retired #34, I saw him, and he lost a lot of weight. I hope he's OK, and that he's eating healthier.
Fernando Valenzuela, he’s the reason I became a Dodgers fan!!!
Me too, I remember reading an article on Sports Illustrated and said his fast ball was clocked at 103 mph and rolled his eye's back when he pitched
Yo tambien
Me too. I loved the team back then.
I loved his name. Eloquent
I was born a Dodgers fan but Fernando was something!!! And, I remember Vinnie saying, “If you have a sombrero, throw it to the sky!”
"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.
I notice that too, I love that line. Everything he said was spot on. Great commentator, the best ever. He had me almost in tears just before the famous "if you have a sombrero..."
Spot on. Just amazing how perfectly Vin Scully called these things. I mean who even says this and can put things like this these days. Nobody. There will never be anyone like Scully ever again. I am so glad to have lived this era and heard him.
Or a bunch of jerkoffs like me are watching it on RUclips. Lol
steve b, whhuut? Brother leave the drugs alone. They make you sound pendejo. Look it up, if you can.
That reminds me of the inelegant way they called the Cubs winning the WS a couple years ago. Talk about not framing the moment when you have the chance.
I hope the Dodgers one day retire #34. Hall of Famer or not, Valenzuela deserves it.
Its not retired... But out of circulation, out of respect for VALENZUELA! So no not "officially.
Joseph Mostarda no
Nomo too. Not hall of fame numbers....but both got the fans in the seats.
Dodgers only retire players who are in the HOF
I don't think 34 or 55 are in circulation.
Watching Fernando and hearing Vin brings back the good times in life.
ah-men, glory days for sure!
Right on bro! Times were good> how little did we know what the future would hold.
You said it.
"107 pitches left, still has enough ammunition left" boy oh boy how have times changed
Vinny was the best.
I was laughing at that also. Now-a-days, managers panic when pitchers reach 80 pitches....lol
you can tell fernando is tired though.
Happening through many sports, it is al about the revenue now.
I laughed at that also.
“If you have a sombrero, throw it to the sky!” Congrats Fernando Valenzuela!
Vin knows what to say, and he knows when to say nothing at all. Perfect broadcaster. Legend in his lifetime.
Michael Molash I was overseas in a ship and the ship's Capitan got the game on satellite that was the best ever memory, a benefit of being a US Marines. Semper-Fi
If he said this today Twitter would explode with people whining about "cultural insensitivity" and "stereotyping."
libs would get triggered by that now days
Felix P and republican conservatives like you would want him deported!
Javier Hdez kkl ok
That strike three on Coleman was never anywhere near the strike zone. Damn I love the Dodgers.
True. I’m guessing he would have got the ball call if he’d not faked a bunt with 2 strikes
@@thebluecollarbibleguy5114 Agreed. Coleman coming over the plate for the bunt definitely impacted the outside strike call. It was a wrong call, but his lunge over the plate had an impact.
WAY outside.
@@travisedwards3543 Uphill both ways in the snow. 6’ wide strike zones. Kids never get how hard we had it.
I remember watching this…there were several outside pitches called strikes all game for Fernando
aplausos por favor para la leyenda mexicana Fernando valenzuela
Alejandro Vazquez ,,tierraextrana
egualmente.
👏👏👏👏👏
Uno de los mejores de todos los tiempos...GRANDE Fernando y gracias por deleitarnos
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
I love Vin Scully
It Wouldn't be Dodger Baseball with his golden voice. So everyone pay attention because he's about retire and the games won't be the same.
+Carolita Ornelas true
Carolita Ornelas retired and he was at the world series :)
Zigor Campos McGregor it
How can you not love Vin Scully
Fernando Valenzuela was a big deal when I was a kid.... I'm glad i got to see him play up here in Montreal in 82'.... My first MLB game.
LanceCampeau did you ever see Pedro pitch
82 feet
LanceCampeau men, y’all really got the good ol baseball
No repetition Camera, No steroids, no millions cry babys, y’all had pure baseball
Congrats man in 82 i never missed fernandos games like clockwork every 5 days we had him on mexican tv at the time we could only watch games on monday night or when fernando pitch one tome we lost power in my house and walked 2 miles to my grandma house to watch fernando play
I'm here during the quarantine of 2020. No sports being played. Just watching old reruns. Go Dodgers!!!!!
josue hemp same lol. I remember watching this on tv when I was 10
same here😂✋
Boring reruns since yall haven't won nada since.... God knows when 😂
Same. Looking for the link to the full game.
Back when sports were sports to distract us. Now everything is a political statement.
Differences in a 110 pitch count:
1990 Complete game
2017 Tommy John surgery
Julius Ulit so true! Vin said, “ Fernando has made 107 pitches through 8 innings so he should have a lot of ammunition left” todays pitchers wouldn’t have completed this game especially after giving up the walk
@@157dodgers mike fiers threw a no hitter on like 135 pitches
@@lancethedragontamer1409 fernado, throw 149 pitches in the third game of the world series.
The mindset has changed and training and player diets have changed quite substantially too. Back then you threw until you couldn’t anymore. Now it’s all about preserving guys so they can live a life after baseball too. Lord knows what a guy like Sandy Koufax could’ve done if he wasn’t taking the mound every 3 days. He might’ve been able to pitch another 7+ years 🤷♂️
Ryan pitched a game that, when compared to today’s baseball, feels more like it was from 100 years ago. Nolan Ryan threw 235 pitches in a single game. This is NOT a misprint.
Not only THAT taking the mound for the Angels on June 14, 1974, the future Hall of Famer struck out-->19
Fernando belongs in HOF and he is the greatest pitcher Mexico has ever produced. Fernando is awesome 👍
So much tough. I disliked when he pitched against the Astros. I knew they would lose!
Cut the crapola
Great pitcher watched him as a kid, but not a hall of Famer
The Hall is already diluted with too many borderline inductees. If you go through it, there are about 20 guys in there who shouldn't be
I'd take Fernando over Jim Rice.
But I don't think Rice belongs either.
As we still say in LA, 'Los Doyers'! A no-hitter for Fernando and a hell of a double-play! Classic.
Bob Loza jajaja
@@75harg ¡Claro que si! But really, it was big day and a big win for the team I grew up with.
@@boblozaintherealworld3577 i also grew up saying Los Doyers!!! Fernando played few games in Mazatlan my hometown!! my father saw him in the 90's,, he loved him!!
@@75harg Nice. I'm probably older than you...all my grandparents were either from Jalisco (San Miguel El Alto) or Chihuahua (Monterey), and my parents used to love vacationing in Mazatlan. Good for your dad that he got to see Fernando play. I'm just an LA suburbs 'pocho' but grew up listening to Vinny call the shots. (and for the Lakers, it was Chick Hearn) Tremendous sports history in this weird city.
@@lozamaniac Hey, might be my 'primo' after all. I've met a few Loza's here and there (one was from Peru) but Jalisco definitely seems to be 'Loza-Land'. Not aware of our connections to Spain, but dig: look at a map of northern Spain near the resort town of Austurias is a small town named LOZA. Who knows, maybe our original ancestors got chased out of the country. ¡Buena suerte!
I was @ this game. I was on vacation, had taken my kids to Disneyland earlier. Decided to go watch the Dodgers that evening. When I got to the stadium, the game was sold out, but managed to get tickets from a scalper @ the gate. I thought I had gotten screwed for paying about $5 over regular price.
bevera crazy how things work sometimes. Some of those vacations everything falls into place.
Any suvenir from that game?
no hitters are boring game to watch .....only until up to the last 5 outs remaining
bevera
I grew up watching the Dodgers. I got to see and sometimes meet the greats. In the pavilion throwing a ball with Dusty Baker or Mike Marshall and Baker when he had to go back in he would throw candy at us. Got to see Steve Garvey, Steve Sax, Pedro Guerrero, Mike Sciocia, Lazorda, Kirk Gibson and many more. 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. It was tough but I was lucky like that. Missed those $3 pavilion or nose bleed seats and Dodger dogs.
Go Dodger Blue!! Semper FI.
Post proof or BS will be called
Fernando "the bull" Valenzuela the best pitcher of mexico
Urias is just behind him. Bright future lays ahead. Let’s Go Dodgers!!!
" El Toro "
One of the best
@@victor-eh3kt nop, the best mexican pitcher for sure
Yes my friend. Viva México, viva el toro Valenzuela.
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 🙏
Pov: your randomly recommended this and “how the dodgers found Fernando Valenzuela”
Just watched it. Great story!
Are you the FBI?
Def the fbi
Same here
Exact same here.....YT....nothing is accidental or coincidental.
Vin Scully, we will miss you.
that's an understatement
Trudat.
Mike Brito, the scout that "discovered" Fernando Valenzuela and Yasiel Puig can be seen standing behind home place with the speed gun and his trademark Panama hat.
Also Julio Urias was "discovered" by Brito.
Erik Pacheco Najar urias will be close to Fernando watch once he’s healthy and pitching again 🤘🏽
mike brito also appears in a mexican cheesy movie called el chacharas
@Deadlift Brah I played sunday ball their
Fernando was a badass. Scully could paint a picture. I'll throw a sombrero for both:)
Before phones people watched from start to finish and were emotionally invested at such a high level
not a Dodger fan but hands down the greatest screwball ever .One of my fav pitchers
Me, neither....but Vin was the best ever....
Vin Scully..... eloquent words, as always.....
“If you have a sombrero… Throw it to the sky!”
Scully could really get to be irritating with his hyperbolic, b.s.
I was always amazed how Fernando could get so much velocity from such a smooth delivery. He was great on defense too. Glad he finished here in San Diego!
Vin Scully and Fernando Valenzuela, classic Dodgers!!
Fernando was special.
One of a kind.
So was Vin.
Cold as ice Fernando, just walks off after a no hitter. Humble guy.
when i was kid every five days i was glued to the tv watching fernando valenzuela in my home town of tepic nayarit mexico and the mexican play by play guys also did an amazing job on the ending of this particular game must be on you tube as well with mexican tv anouncers by the way in mexico he was called el toro fernando valenzuela
how did Vin know that we would be watching this someday, somehow? he paints this picture so masterfully, we can understand it in our modern time...
Before and above everything, Vin is a lover of the game.
"... If you have a Sombrero, throw it to the sky...!" who says that right off the cuff! Oh, Mr. Scully, we miss you, sir...😉 💜 🍀
The fact Fernando did this after his injury and being a shell of his old self is amazing. He was done by this time "stuff" wise.
ray Gordon totally agree, the devastating screwball was pretty much ancient history, fastball might have hit 90 on a good day but to see him throw a no hitter late in his career was special. All those screwballs and high pitch counts and complete games made his arm a noodle. 1986 20 complete games in 1 yr? Amazing
ray Gordon more amazing was before the game in the clubhouse the Dodgers players were watching highlights of that days earlier no hitter by Dave Stewart.
Fernando then informed them that they were going to see one thrown live by him that night.
the guys laughed it off at the time but werent laughing anymore when he went out and did it.
@@shooter7426 yes it is true i remember that story
Vin Scully was the BEST baseball caller of all time. Perfect voice.
The best....
This was actually the second no-hitter that day, BOTH of which were seen on ESPN.
The first was Dave Stewart throwing one for the A's against the Blue Jays that was the regional game on ESPN (back when ESPN had an alternate game to show) with the second no-hitter being this one that was the main game of the Friday night doubleheader in those days (called by Gary Thorne on ESPN).
I'll always remember those no-nos that night as my Son was born that very evening as well.
TheAdkFlyer10 I think the gods were telling you to teach him to pitch, Hope you did.
Both were Dodger products!!
I'm still so disappointed that MLB didn't include Valenzuela in their Tribute in this years ( 2017 ) All-Star Game. Shame on you don't you know how many he has influenced and has many Fans. Once again We Mexicans get overlooked that it hurts.
sucks he got overlooked but his legacy speaks for itself. i wouldn't read too much into the national (Mexican) aspect of it as if anything baseball would want to capitalize on Mexican Americans by pandering considering how many Mexican immigrants are in America. but Valenzuela was great pitcher just overshadowed by the hall of famers but like i said his legacy which includes phenom rookie year, world series, no hitter, etc plus his fan support speaks for itself he will NEVER be forgotten and in alot of ways will be remembered even more than some hall of famers because of this.
wahhh crybaby latino victim.
Thomas DeMay
Mexico is america!
Valenzuela is native American!

Historic day, earlier on the East Coast, Dave Stewart threw his no-no and I believe both games were seen back to back on ESPN...what are the chances!
lemmiwinks09 The kind of odds that we have a ILLEGITIMATE president. MITT ROMNEY CALLS HIM A PHONEY A FRAUD.
David Greene ??
Yeah it was. Remember that night.
And former team mates? Stewart ex Dodger
I remember as a child when Fernando first broke into the league...Dude was "bigger than life"...What a performance, and called by the legendary Vin Scully makes it all the more immortal
Thanks for sharing, wow to hear Vin call the whole inning, set up, etc, wow. I only heared the last part before. Vin at his best AS USUAL
Thank You Vin.. for so many memories.
I watched this live on ESPN. The only time I ever saw a no hitter live.
🇲🇽⚾Uno de los peloteros más trascendentes mexicanos en grandes ligas⚾🇲🇽👏👏👏 puro Dodgers ⚾👍👍👍
As he goes into the dugout at the end of the clip at 6:30, he is congratulated by Tim Crews and Mike Sharperson-- both men, unfortunately, RIP.
I remember hearing about Tim Crews's death. He was killed in a freak accident that also killed a young relief pitcher by the name of Steve Olin. Bobby Ojeda survived that accident. Mike Sharperson was killed in a car accident. Both of them are missed.
absolute perfection of an announcer for a great game with better lineups than I remember. great game and era.
Wow do I miss Vin. Great for Fernando. He is my dad's favorite player.
rest in power, vin. made historic moments so much more special.
Fernando and Vin at the top of their game. #Dodgers
Also some amazing hitters to face for a no-hitter.
Fernando is best, because after his retirement, he keep excelent reputation, he is a living example, he is my hero.
I’m 61 , I remember these times. Oh how proud Fernando made us feel. Something I think Mexicans need now.
We got Urias now, watching him close out the world series was amazing.
Why do these groups always and it seems now, perpetually "need to feel proud" ? Just live and do your thing...stop with the constant pathos parade
@@manofiske3318 what groups?
Valenzuela was one of those few pitchers with an amazing control.
Vin Scully is so incredible to listen to
Play the video
I'm 36 and when I was 13 I lived in Yuma Az. I was good enough to make it to regionals to go for the world series. I played against Valenzuela's son who was on a team from California.
Fernandomania!
Fue tal la Fernandomania que personas que desconocian el béisbol empezaron a interesarse en el. Y vi a varias lusir la franela. 34 de Fernando aqui en México.
What a great era of time to witness. I miss the good ole days.
It doesn't get better than this, Fernando's fantastic game & the immortal Vin Scully's detailed narration, a moment to remember for posterity.
I will never get tired of listening to Vin Scully, as a Giants fan he is the best and nobody will even compare.
As a Giants fan you have been fortunate enough to listen to Jon Miller, another all-time great, and a guy whose Vin Scully impersonations are hilarious. You can find JM on RUclips doing his Vin voice :)
That called strike was a foot outside
Probably due to him running up to bunt the ball, ump thought he didn't pull bat back in time.
More like a foot and a half
I agree, the 2-2 pitch was by no means a strike. Besides this, Willie McGee should have tried to steal second. Still though, I was happy for Fernando that he got his no-hitter.
MANCHESTER UNITED F.C they’ve been saying soccer will be big in America since I was a kid in the 1960s.
MANCHESTER UNITED F.C been hearing that my whole life
Priceless Commentator , Priceless and Legendary Voice
:) Only Scully...."....if you have a sombrero, throw it to the sky!"
Kenni 💪👏
Or a drunk Harry Carry “Hey! Check out the kid in the sombrero!”.
Say that nowadays and you would be cancelled right off the air.
@@devineimageworks I don't know about that.
Valenzuela one of my all time favorite Dodgers players for sure
Happy 60th Birthday Fernando Valenzuela
How does this have any thumbs down. Unbelievable baseball history.
Fernando brought such an excitement to and for the Dodgers Dodgers unlike anyone I have seen. I'll never forget his first season or two. He deserves the HOF.
I remember the Fernando-Mania craze back in 81 when he was on fire throwing so many of those unhittable screwballs he use to throw ⚾️ ⚾️⚾️
I still get chills watching this! Such a great player! Fernando
CONGRATULATIONS DODGERS FROM A PADRE S FAN!!!
Hearing my dad and uncles talk and watch Fernando valenzuela games made me the Dodger fan I am today 🙏
Great game by Fernando! Unfortunately, I attended the game before and the next one after while missing this one! My Niece was there though.
Vin Sully is, quite simply, the best that's ever been.
I was born in 1990 in San Diego, we’re all Pads fans…but my mom said everyone watched this game as a mexican-american.
Wooow amazing childhood memory!!! I was there at the stadium only 10 years old game of my life caught a foul ball too and what did i do with the ball?!?! Played catch with it the next day and who knows what happened to it but it was awesome
Vin you will be missed, what Commentary. An absolute legend.
Great player FV From Monterrey Mx
Still love him my favorite of all time and with Vince Scully calling it wow
That 3rd strike to Coleman was WAY outside.
@Robb Dark
Lmao but very true. However, Coleman was trying to keep his 10 game hitting streak going and he was a speedy player, so technically he could claim that as justification for trying to break-up a no-hitter with a bunt.
Colman should have known better. The no-hitter trumps the 10 game hitting streak, therefore it should be a normal swing, regular AB to determine the fate.
@Robb Dark and with his team down by 6. Only asshat players do this and players despise them for doing it. Some say he had a 10 game hitting streak on the line.....10 games is nothing.
Mike scioscia framed that pitch perfectly 🙈 LOL
@pigray, it takes 10 to get to 11 and beyond.
I grew up in San Diego but with a DODGER BLUE FAMILY! I had Fernando Mania.. he was a spectacle to behold. His screw ball, his curve, the way he looked to the sky as he delivered the ball!
He's still a part of the Dodger family today, as part of the Mexican radio broadcasting crew.
He's always going to be a HERO to me.
i never missed a fernando game growing up on tv of course
I was at this game in 1990! Got my game program signed by Jim Gott (pitcher) and catcher Rick Dempsey 😀
This was the same night Dave Stewart tossed a no-no for Oakland I believe.
Travis Downs Rick Dempsey is a scumbag
I didn't know he pitched a no hitter that's great I remember he was just on fire when he started the whole world was talking about him
6:00 "If you have a sombrero, throw it to the sky!" If an announcer said that today, he'd be politically INCORRECT and called a RACIST!
Settle down lol
This comment is a perfect example of people complaining about how some people might complain. Ultra PC culture is annoying, but people like you are equally as annoying.
Says you.
As a Mexican, you obviously have no knowledge of our culture. It was well known that both Fernando and Vin were really good friends. Vin was the first person that welcomed Fernando when he joined the dodgers. There’s nothing offensive or racist about what Vin said. Clearly you throw your sombrero or hat to celebrate an achievement, which Fernando did and was the first Mexican baseball player. Don’t ever speak on behalf of other people’s cultures, stick to your own.
Did it make you mad? That's all that matters! Let the echo chamber echo and be happy with what makes you happy.
I am from Sonora to Fernando is a phenomen in the pitching mound
If Fernando Valenzuela pitched in today's era of baseball, he would have had a much longer prime and gone on to the HOF.
Tommy Lasorda over taxed his arm by letting Valenzuela finish way to many ballgames. Just to many complete games the first 7 or 8 seasons in his career.
Valenzuela was part of some really bad Dodger ball clubs during his tenure in Los Angeles. For example he won 21 games in 1986 for the Dodgers, 20 of those were complete games, and even the 10 games he lost that season he often pitched really deep into the game.
Looking back at those years, the Dodger coaching staff led by Manager Tommy Lasorda was really dumb to waist Valenzuela like that in the years where the Dodgers were having losing seasons.
I guess alot of clubs did the same thing to their pitchers.
Nowdays of course clubs protect their pitchers, especially their elite pitchers and only allow them to throw a specific ammount of pitches.
I remember games where Valenzuela would thrown in excess of 150 pitches in certain ballgames.
I am Nicaraguan and this name, means a lot to me Nicaraguans love baseball. Wow 😳
1:16 wow, Vin saying he has plenty of ammo left because he ONLY pitched 108 balls in 8 innings? Pitcher get pulled after 100 pitches or the 8th inning, which ever comes first nowadays. Different era.
Even worst now if a pitcher sees the hitter 3 times already they bring another pitcher that is f ed up
His contribution to MLB and to the GROWIMG OF THE LATIN FAN BASE,OF LATIN BALL PLAYERS is extremely under valued.I remember him being one of the most recognized ball players for a good 4 years in MLB.Great left handed pitcher!
I remember my dad watching this game and yelled
Cuthberto Ramos what did he yell
still waiting for an answer on this
???
Watching the 9th inning brought back great memories for me...Had the opportunity to play against a team from Sonora, Mexico back in 1980 at El Sereno Park in Los Angeles. Starting first-baseman, Fernando Valenzuela. I still have the hat he signed for me after the game...Miss you Vin.
If you have a sombrero in 2019....through it to the sky..
Viny as always great with his amazing voice
Julio Urias In the House....
VIVA Fernando!! Always a Hero!! We Love Man!!
you had to love Fernando
Vin Scully has went to glory 1927-2022 😭😭😭😭😭
Bueno, en Mèxico fuimos hinchas de Dodgers de Los Àngeles mucho tiempo . Ahora saben por què.
Me gustó el beisbol gracias a la FERNANDOMANIA!!!
What a legend Fernando is.
Love the fact that Vin Scully said Fernando had only thrown 107 pitches through 8 innings, so he should have plenty of ammunition left!!!
That’s back when pitchers were allowed to pitch and not conditioned to breakdown after 90 or so pitches and be replaced.
I got to see Fernando Valenzuela pitch; it was 1997 and he was with the Cardinals in what proved to be his last MLB season. The Cardinals beat the Reds, 12-6, but Valenzuela didn't go long enough to get the decision.
Scully is the best announcer because he is not a homer, objective and calls it like he sees it.
Damn, that made me cry. I was so happy for him.
