i was 10 in 1981 when fernando took over socal. i was so into the dodgers that season - i certainly was not one of those fans turned off by the strike (1994 was a whole different story), i just could not wait for the season to restart and for fernando to get back on the mound.
i sent a couple of cards to fernando in mid-march. he returned both cards, signing one - this 1991 topps card.
there are a few reasons i love this card - for one, it catches him in his signature 'look to the sky' moment in his windup. it's also from the 91 set, which is one of my top 3 favorite topps sets ever. plus, it's his dodgers' final tribute - 1991 was the year he was released by the dodgers at the end of spring training.

muy bonita! (I don't know how to type one of those upside down exclamation points on the left side).
If you're willing to supply an address, I may give it a go.
