LOS ANGELES—The Dodgers and New York Yankees will open the World Series Friday at Dodger Stadium with the Dodgers honoring the life and legacy of legendary pitcher Fernando Valenzuela.

Before pregame ceremonies begin, a special tribute video for Valenzuela will play on the DodgerVision video boards. A mariachi performance featuring Julian Torres y Deyra Barrera will be held in the Left Field Pavilion to honor Valenzuela, who died Tuesday night at the age of 63.
