Unless you are old enough to have lived through Fernando mania, you have no idea how nuts it was. The guy was everywhere.

RIP, i remember fernandomania well. playing fast-pitch and more than few emulating his pitching style - face looking skyward right before releasing the pitch.

only 63? had to be older than that. only 20-21 in 1981? no way. read some articles tinged with nonsense. same articles praising vince scully for saying "if you have a sombrero, throw it in the air!!". ok.
