Tia Lencha’s Dispatch: ¡Que Viva Los Doyers! Unlikely Heroes
This has been quite a week for Fernando Valenzuela and Mexican-American Dodgers and Dodger fans.
Tuesday, Valenzuela, one of my childhood heroes, had his number 34 jersey retired.
There was a whole weekend of festivities in his honor, including a video of his brothers and sister congratulating him all the way from Mexico.
His story always made me proud to be Mexican while I was growing up in the 1980s, when it wasn’t a particularly great time to be Mexican.
