The activities were part of a weekend-long celebration of one of the most enduring and popular players in Dodgers history.
Valenzuela and Scioscia appeared on a Topps baseball card in which they were labeled future stars. After his playing career, Scioscia managed the Los Angeles Angels.
The Rockies watched from the railing in the visitor's dugout, while some of the Dodgers were on the field warming up and a few looked on from the dugout. On Saturday, the team is giving away his bobblehead, and on Sunday, the giveaway is a replica of Valenzuela's 1981 World Series ring. “Tommy Lasorda came up to me and said, ‘Are you ready to pitch tomorrow?’ I said, ‘I’m ready,'" Valenzuela recalled."That's what I was looking for, the opportunity to show what I can do.”
Besides Lasorda and Jarrín, Valenzuela also credited Mike Brito, the scout who in Mexico found the left-handed pitcher, for boosting his career. Brito died last year at age 87.
