Manny Valenzuela

The story

My love for the Dodgers started as a baby inherited from a family of Dodger fans. I believe there are “Dodger fans” and then there are “Dodger faithful” who understand the game and have been around through the ups and downs and I believe I am the latter. I always wanted to put together a “man cave” and have a space to watch games and display and admire my memorabilia that I have collected throughout the years. All of the furniture in photos is from Ikea. My humble collection includes signed baseballs, bats, helmets, bobble heads, signed /worn 4th of July cleats from Walker Buehler, photographs, a Fernando Valenzuela signed 1981 World Series game program, and also some Football and Basketball memorabilia. Some of the memorabilia have signatures from SANDY KOUFAX, OREL HERSHISER , FERNANDO VALENZUELA, JOE DIMAGGIO\*, TOM LASORDA, DUKE SNIDER, DON SUTTON, DON NEWCOMB, KIRK GIBSON, MAURY WILLIS, STEVE GARVEY, STEVE SAX, RON CEY, MOOKIE BETTS, FREDDIE FREEMAN, TEOSCAR HERNANDEZ, YOSHINOBU YAMAMOTO, WALKER BUEHLER, WILL SMITH, MAX MUNCY, TOMMY EDMAN, JACK FLAHERTY, DAVE ROBERTS, KIKE HERNANDEZ, TYLER GLASNOW, MIGUEL ROJAS, HYSEONG KIM, ROKI SASAKI, MIKE CONFORTO, ALL THE BULPEN DAWGS, SHAWN GREEN, ADRIAN BELTRE, ERIC GAGNE, TODDS HOLLANDSWORTH, MIKE PIAZZA, JUSTIN TURNER, GAVIN LUX, MANNY RAMIREZ, CODY BELLINGER, COREY SEAGER, KENLEY JENSEN, YASIEL PUIG, ISMAEL VALDEZ, HIDEO NOMO, VLADDY GUERRERO JR\*, SAMMY SOSA\*, ANDRES GALARRAGA\*, RAFAEL PALMEIRO\* and many more.

I am proud of everything in my collection and man cave but some stand outs are my Sandy Koufax baseball, Fernando Valenzuela signed baseball and 1981 WS game program, Freddie Freeman signed baseball and WS framed jersey / photograph, Mookie Betts signed WS baseball and signed 1/1 baseball card. All of my pieces hold a place in my heart and with the list of names above it’s easy to fall in love with. Above everything I value memories and moments more than material things such as being at game 5 of the 24 WS with my future wife defending our honor among Yankee faithful. I hope you guys like it. Im a big fan of your platform and content.
