Thanks. How sad that in today’s game there never could be Fernandomania. The hubbub around Ohtani is close but without the profound cultural impact you describe. We’ve seen our last Maddux or Fidrych or Ferguson Jenkins, right? The list goes on and can be recited back to the dawn of baseball time.
Terrific column. A fitting farewell to a Dodger legend.

Maybe even the last Mo Rivera
Thank you for the poignant tribute.
