- Baseball
The history behind Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles is dark. A bitter taste was left before a left handed pitcher came to save the day in 1981. His name was Fernando Valenzuela.
Thanks to Victor Rojas and Vincent Samperio for speaking with me. Support Victor Rojas’ business Big Fly Gear. Check out Vincent’s podcast Locked On Dodgers. He’s really good at what he does.
