[edit] "Bespeccled Face"

Bespectacled=wears glasses Bespeckled=has skin blemishes Both of these could be said about Fernando. Let's pick one (or both) and spell it/them correctly.

[edit] Under Construction

I'm in the process of trying to clean-up this article, per the July 2006 tag. I still have much work to do, but I would appreciate feedback on the edits I've made so far. This is among my first real attempts at becoming a contributor. Thanks! AGratz 05:11, 13 February 2007 (UTC)

I removed the tag without looking at the talk page, because I didn't think it was necessary any more. So good work on whatever changes you made. --Djrobgordon 17:01, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Stats versus Giants / Roger Craig Quote

I deleted the career statistics versus the San Francisco Giants as well as the quote from former Giants manager Roger Craig, as I was unable to confirm the statistics or find an attribution for the quote. Here's the paragraph, which I edited:

Further endearing him to Dodger fans during his eleven seasons with Los Angeles were Valenzuela's amazing statistics against the team's arch-rivals, the San Francisco Giants: 33 wins - including 10 one-hitters - against just 2 losses, with an overall earned run average of 1.15. Former Giant manager Roger Craig once said watching Fernando pitch was like listening to a musical composition of Bach or Brian Wilson.

It's great stuff, and I'll be happy to see it re-included if anyone can tell me where the information comes from.
