World Series Opener Honors Fernando Valenzuela

Last night, the first game of the World Series took place between the Los Angeles Dodgers and the New York Yankees. However, beyond the outcome of the matchup, the event was characterized by a heartfelt tribute to Fernando Valenzuela, who passed away this past Tuesday at the age of 63. Major League Baseball designated this day as 'Fernando Valenzuela Day' in honor of the distinguished Mexican player. During the ceremony, Dodgers players wore a black patch with the number 34, symbolizing their respect and admiration for Valenzuela. The homage was emotional, with Valenzuela's family present in the stadium, and a corrido titled 'Eternal Love' resonated among the attendees. Despite Valenzuela's declining health in recent months, his legacy endures in the Latin community and among baseball fans. This series is expected to be thrilling as the teams compete for the title, but the memory of 'El Toro' Archuleta illuminated the atmosphere. The Dodgers and Yankees shared a moment of respect and acknowledgment, underscoring Valenzuela's greatness in the history of baseball.
