About this listen
This episode of the Pastball Podcast is all about "Fernandomania"—the electrifying phenomenon that swept through baseball in 1981. Host Matt explores the meteoric rise of Fernando Valenzuela, the 20-year-old Mexican phenom whose dazzling screwball and captivating presence ignited a cultural movement. From his remarkable 8-0 start with five shutouts and an ERA under 1.00, to the packed stands at Dodger Stadium filled with sombrero-wearing fans, Valenzuela transcended the game. Discover how he not only dominated on the field, winning both the Rookie of the Year and Cy Young awards in the same season, but also became a powerful symbol of pride and representation for the Latino community, forever changing the landscape of baseball.
