Summary:
Fernando Valenzuela was just barely out of his teens when he came to America from Mexico to play for the Los Angeles Dodgers. In the 1980s, Latinos rarely followed baseball. But after Fernando pitched eight winning games, the entire country was talking about him. A rookie on a historic streak, Fernando became an international star and opened doors for other marginalized players. And the fans gained something too, a hero they could call their own. In Spanish.

 Illustrator: Parra, John
