Dude. My username is a portmanteau of three Giants Hall of Famers. My avatar is Willie Mays. I have the SF Giants in my teams. If you need an explanation about why I hate the Dodgers, you also need to get fitted for a soft helmet.
RIP El Toro

By the way, the ESPN series 30 For 30 has an episode, E27, Fernando Nation, which is worth a watch for baseball fans whether you are Dodger fans or not.
It covers the euphoria created by Fernando Valenzuela's 1981 arrival with the Los Angeles Dodgers. It includes a brief history of the new Dodger park, named Chavez Ravine, to be built in the Elysian Park neighborhood of LA, a mostly Latino community. Homeowners were bought out and those who wouldn't sell or move were driven from their homes to make way for the new Dodger park in 1959 after O'Mally moved the team from Brooklyn to LA. There was a lot of political tension at the time which eased with rise of Fernando's stardom.
