Fernando ‘El Toro’ Valenzuela, Mexican baseball icon and Dodger star, dies

The Los Angeles Dodgers announced this Tuesday the death of their former player Fernando ‘El Toro’ Valenzuela, one of the great legends of the franchise and Mexican baseball.

“The Dodgers mourn the passing of legendary pitcher Fernando Valenzuela,” the Major League team said on its X social network account.

Valenzuela, 63, was suffering from health problems that forced him to abandon his work as a radio commentator for the Dodgers in October, a team that will begin the World Series against the New York Yankees on Friday.
