It's a Preview to Us

(Trying to ignore the fact that the Giants are in the World Series, we've asked baseball legend Tommy Lasorda to interview Fernando Valenzuela about the documentary that aired last night on ESPN)


Tommy Lasorda here for NBC sports, and Fernando, ESPN had a whole hour about Fernandomania. I remember those times vividly, of course. What are your thoughts on the film?

¿Pensé que fue una vista agradable de nuestra historia, pero dónde estuvieron las entrevistas con usted?

I don't know...you only saw me in there once. And where the hell was Vin in all this? That's my big complaint.

Eso me recuerda de cuando usted me tomó haciendo de compras en "Beverly Hills" durante la huelga.

I told you that you gotta look sharp. You're a big time star now, so we should go to Botany 500. And you walked outta there with a good sport coat collection. Yeah, that strike in 1981 was an awful thing. But it all worked out, you got your money, I got mine. Different days with the O'Malley's - how often would you look forward to dining with your boss?

Espero cenar con usted, Tommy.

Haha, I look forward to dining, period. In case any of you are wondering, we're rooting for the Rangers...as if there was another option. But, to sum up, weren't those fun days, playing with the Dodgers?

Bien, fueron las mejores experiencias en mi carrera del béisbol. Estoy contento que soy todavía con el equipo, llamando los juegos. Las cosas son buenas.

He said that it was the best experience of his life, and that I was the finest manager of the history of baseball. And that he's buying dinner tonight at the rooftop restaurant at the Bonaventure Hotel.

¿Qué?
