RIP Fernando Valenzuela


Recommended Posts

He was nearly a White Sox. They wanted him, but the Dodgers got him. A couple of really close near misses Roland Hemond and Bill Veeck had that might have made Reinsdorf look better. Almost got Fernando, and almost had Guidry thrown in the Bucky Dent trade which included Gamble and Hoyt.

The following year Guidry was to have been dealt to Toronto for Bill Singer in a transaction that was approved by the Yankees but was vetoed by Blue Jays president Peter Bavasi.[6]

 

Went on to make four All Star teams from 1979 to mid 80s.
