I only saw Fernando pitch once, in 1981, after the strike ended, against the Cubs, in Dodger Stadium, and he beat them 6-0, allowing only 4 hits...I may be an Irish boy, but whenever Fernando pitched, I was IrishMexican...Viva Fernando...

I had the fortune to see Fernando pitch, it was in my home town Hermosillo with the local team, Naranjeros, it was simply amazing, it was something so magical.
