The Dodgers announced Thursday they will wear jersey patches in the World Series commemorating Fernando Valenzuela, the beloved former pitcher who died at age 63 on Tuesday.
The black and blue patch will read “Fernando,” with his No. 34 below. It will be on the sleeve of each player’s jersey.
That touch is expected to be one of several ways Valenzuela, the 198 World Series champion and Cy Young and Rookie of the Year award winner, will be remembered during the World Series.
