R.I.P. Fernando Valenzuela

Forums:

The only non-Hall Of Fame Dodger to have his number retired.  I always liked him.  He even played a season in Baltimore.

RIP. A truly great pitcher!

RIP

Wonder if Garvey knew he was near the end when he dropped his name in the debate?

In '86 he was  runner up in the Cy Young balloting  to Houston's Mike Scott.  He was 21-11 but the stat that impressed me was  20 complete games in 34 starts. No pitcher  in MLB comes close to that post 1986

RIP

2024 marks the fewest complete games in MLB history with 28.
