"Fernandomania" hits fever pitch at Dodger Stadium as a sellout crowd watches the 20-year-old rookie pitch his 4th shutout in 5 starts 5-0 versus the Giants. Valenzuela is 5-0 with a 0.20 ERA and is batting .438.
There was a novelty song that was produced around this time...Can't find the lyrics to it, but it went something like:
Fer-nan-do! Fer-nan-do!
Hey, Fernando, you pitch the baseball,
Fernando Valenzuela!
What do you want? It's been 25 years.
