Fernando Valenzuela's No. 3 was retired by the Los Angeles Dodgers after he was fired. On Friday night, 34 jerseys were released in Southern California before the Colorado Rockies played for the first time, 42 years after 'Fernandomania' took over Southern California. On the back of the mound, his number was cut into the center-field grass and stenciled in white. Valenzuela told a packed room of English and Spanish-language media before the service that "It's very emotional." 'I never thought of it.'
