Longtime fans of the former Dodgers star make sure to be at the game where the team honors him, one No. 34 jersey after another leading the way to the admission gates.

In the hallways underneath the main level that lead to both clubhouses, the walls are lined with Dodgers award winners. For Valenzuela's Cy Young and Rookie of the Year awards, the Dodgers have placed blue ribbons on the corner. Same with his display for having his number retired. There are reminders everywhere.

Fernando Valenzuela was on the minds of the Los Angeles Dodgers and New York Yankees at Friday’s opener of the World Series between the storied franchises. An informal memorial at a sign welcoming fans to Dodger Stadium that popped up soon after the pitcher's death on Tuesday was still going strong three days later.
