He did not make it into the HOF, which has been the requirement to retire Dodgers numbers since the late 70s.

They did something similar with Steve Garvey's #6 for awhile, but eventually started giving it away to current players.

Fernando might have made the HOF if Tommy hadn’t forced him throw 130 pitches every outing. Nevertheless, he’s an LA cultural icon. That ‘81 Dodgers team is still my favorite of all time. We finally beat the Yankees! Dodgers are hot right now, but I think their pitching will let them down in the playoffs.
