About this listen

Conozcan a Fernando Valenzuela, el lanzador de los Dodgers que se convirtió en un símbolo del orgullo mexicano, en este libro de béisbol en español para niños de 7 a 10 años. Meet LA Dodgers pitcher Fernando Valenzuela, the rookie who became a symbol of Mexican American pride, in this Spanish-language baseball book for kids ages 7-10. Fernando Valenzuela era un adolescente cuando llegó a Estados Unidos desde México para jugar con los Dodgers de Los Ángeles. En los años 80, la población mexicoestadounidense de Los Ángeles rara vez seguía el béisbol. Pero cuando Fernando ganó sus primeros ocho juegos como abridor novato, despertó en ellos un amor por el béisbol. ¡Fernando se convirtió en una estrella internacional! Y a los aficionados, la llegada de Fernando les dio algo más: un héroe de los suyos.

La periodista deportiva Nathalie Alonso se une al ilustrador mexicoestadounidense John Parra para celebrar a este legendario jugador, conocido por su estilo de lanzar único. Fernando Valenzuela was just barely out of his teens when he came to the United States from Mexico to play for the Los Angeles Dodgers. In the 1980s, Mexican Americans rarely followed baseball. But when Fernando pitched eight winning games, he inspired them to love baseball. Fernando became an international star! And the fans gained something too: a hero they could call their own. Baseball reporter Nathalie Alonso joins Mexican American illustrator John Parra to celebrate this sensational player who was known for his signature pitching style.
