Arrr, matey! Danny Trejo, that swashbucklin' thespian, spun a yarn ‘bout his youth as a Mexican Dodgers fan in the bustling port o' Los Angeles, all thanks to the magical arm o' Fernando Valenzuela! Aye, ’twas a tale o’ treasure and cheers on the baseball seas!
Ahoy, mateys! Gather 'round as we spin the yarn of the venerable Dodger Stadium, settin' sail for the World Series this Friday! But alas, it be a somber tide, fer it marks the first game since we lost the legendary Fernando Valenzuela, a true treasure of a player, who departed this earthly realm at the ripe age of 62!Valenzuela, a six-time All-Star and World Series champion, be not just a player but a cultural compass fer the good folks of Los Angeles. Aye, Danny Trejo, a local scallywag, recalls the ruckus when the Dodgers dropped anchor in L.A. back in ’58, stirrin' up quite the controversy in Chavez Ravine! Folks were tossed out of their homes like old cargo, and the community felt the sting of those bulldozers on that fateful Black Friday.
But fear not, for Valenzuela's magic brought a fresh crew to the stands, capturin' hearts and turnin' the tide for the Latino fanbase. With a flick of his wrist, he led the Dodgers to glory in '81, when the very air was thick with “Fernandomania”! So as the crew gears up to face the Yankees once more, Trejo declares with a hearty laugh, “Fernando be with us!” Now hoist the sails and let the games begin!
