Sports in the United States live special days, since on these dates Hispanic Heritage Month is commemorated. Taking advantage of the occasion, two great references of sport in Mexico starred in a special moment, we talked about Fernando ‘El Toro’ Valenzuela and Carlos Vela.
Valenzuela, who was a longtime pitcher with the Los Angeles Dodgers, took it upon himself to send a special gift to the current Mexican striker for LAFC in MLS. Fernando sent Carlos Vela a kit with prized Dodgers items, including a cap and a T-shirt with the number 34 and the last name “Valenzuela” embroidered on the back.
LAFC highlighted this moment and Carlos Vela did not hesitate to pose with the shirt sent by Fernando Valenzuela. Both Mexican athletes have known how to leave their mark in the city of Los Angeles and also managed to win the charisma and support of thousands of fans for both Major League Soccer and Major League Baseball teams.
Vela, with an eye on his recovery
Carlos Vela has been out of action for a few weeks due to injury. LAFC’s medical staff as well as strategist Bob Bradley have cautiously pursued his recovery, so there would be chances to see him with a few minutes of play on Sunday, October 3, against the staunch rival, LA Galaxy. At the moment it is not known with certainty when he will be able to return to play, but the fans and his team miss him in this closing of the regular season, where they are looking for the playoffs positions.
