He was only 20 years old when then-manager Tom Lasorda chose him as the Dodgers' opening-day starter in 1981. The pudgy left-hander, born in the remote Mexican town of Etchohuaquila, had moved to the United States less than two years earlier. The rest is history. The only player in MLB history to be the mvp and win the cy young IN THE SAME YEAR.,I give you Fernando Valenzuela, now does the color com for the Spanish speaking broadcasts for the LA Dodgers. A CLASS ACT.
btw, that opening day , he pitched a 3 hit shut out.
