Talking baseball

RIP to Fernando Valenzuela, the Los Angeles Dodgers great who won the NL Cy Young Award as a rookie in 1981. He died Tuesday at age 63. 

This mural of him capturing the heyday of "Fernandomania" has been outside Taqueria St Marks Place since the bar-restaurant opened at 79 St. Mark's Place west of First Avenue in March 2015

Taqueria St Marks Place remains a haven for L.A. Dodgers and Lakers fans. 

And as we first reported, the Dodgers and Yankees are facing each other in the World Series starting tonight. Being fans of the game, some big questions as the series gets underway: 

• Can the Jets do more on offense with an improved clean-pocket stat line for Aaron Rodgers? 
• Does Karl-Anthony Towns really give the Knicks a true stretch 5?
• Will the Rangers win the Metropolitan Division? 
• Will the Liberty resign Breanna Stewart and Courtney Vandersloot?
