The Dodgers got this one right. On Saturday at Dodger FanFest, in front of a crowd of thousands of Dodger fans, Team President Stan Kasten got on stage for a special announcement. To help with the announcement, he called Dodger legend Fernando Valenzuela to the stage.
After a little back and forth, sharing some history about why Valenzuela’s jersey has not yet been retired, Kasten made the announcement that Dodgers fans have wanted to hear for decades: The team is retiring Valenzuela’s No. 34 jersey.
