Sid Fernandez Biography

Sid Fernandez is one of the most popular and richest Baseball Player who was born on October 12, 1962 in Honolulu, United States. In Honolulu, Hawaii, Fernandez was proud of his Hawaiian roots and wore the number 50 on his uniform to honor Hawaii as the state with 50 states. The theme tune to Hawaii Five-O was often played before his games in Shea Stadium during his days playing for the Mets.

Fernandez suffered from weight problems all through his time with his time in the Dodgers organization. He didn’t make the Dodgers post-season roster and, following their loss against Philadelphia Phillies in the Philadelphia Phillies in the 1983 National League Championship Series, the Dodgers traded him as well as Infielder Ross Jones to the New York Mets in exchange for Carlos Diaz and Bob Bailor.

Fernandez split the 1985 season between Tidewater and the Mets. In 170​⁄3 innings, Fernandez struck out 180 batters, while only allowing 108 hits for New York. Both ratios were the best in the Major Leagues, with second place in both categories going to teammate and Cy Young Award winner Dwight Gooden. Fernandez’s average 5.71 hits allowed per nine innings was the second-best in National League history, behind only Carl Lundgren’s mark of 5.65 in 1907. Fernandez struggled with walks and wound up finishing the year with a record of 9-9. In seven of his nine losses, he gave up two earned runs or fewer. Despite having the third-best record in baseball at 98-64, the Mets placed second in their division and missed the postseason.

The Mets easily won the National League East with their record of 108-54. In Game 4 of the 1986 National League Championship Series, Fernandez went head to head with Scott with a chance to give Mets a 3-1 lead in the series. Fernandez gave up two home runs in the game, ultimately allowing three earned runs in six innings as the Astros prevailed by a 3-1 score. The Mets recovered to win the next two games and advance to the World Series.

Over the course of 76 innings for the Pioneer League’s Lethbridge Dodgers, Fernandez struck out 128 batters and had a 5-1-0 record with an 1.54 ERA his first professional season. After going 8-1, with an 1.91 ERA and 137 strikeouts for the Class High the A Vero Beach Dodgers during the first two months of 1982, Fernandez was moved to the AAA Albuquerque Dukes, though the team was not as successful and was sent to the AA San Antonio Dodgers for 1983. In San Antonio, Fernandez went 13-4, with an 2.82 ERA and 209 strikeouts becoming only the second pitcher in history to be awarded the Texas League’s triple pitching title.
