Yanks fan here, but it was definitely a fitting tribute to Fernando. I remember Fernandomania well.

I was 10 years old, excited every time I pulled a Fernando (or "Fernand") card from a pack. What was Donruss thinking not putting him in their set?

Then he killed it for them in the Playoffs and beat the Yanks in a nail-biter of a Game 3 when he didn't have his best stuff, but still hung in there for a Complete Game win, while throwing 147 pitches, shutting the Yankees down from innings 4 through 9.
