Will never forget that disconcerting eye to the sky herky wind up...crafty and lengthy career.

Opening day Chavez Ravine. 1981. We go and get the bleacher seats.
$2, $1,50 beers.
Barrioland.
New guy we named Fatnando pitching.
He throws a no hitter.
A few weeks later and we have box seats behind 1st base, he throws another no hitter.
Fernandomania is born.
8 no hitters and he is pitching in a World Series and the Doyers win.
There is never a cheap seat again.

He belongs in the HOF.
