Dodgers' Hernandez swaps gloves for young fan's shoes
Kike Hernandez drives a hard bargain.
One young Los Angeles Dodgers fan named Josh found this out the hard way ahead of Saturday's game. When Josh asked the utility man for his batting gloves ahead of Saturday's contest against the San Francisco Giants, Hernandez agreed - but only if Josh gave Hernandez the shoes on his feet.
Though it would appear young Josh may not have thought ahead in accepting this transaction - how was he going to get home without any shoes? - it turns out Hernandez wasn't looking for some new footwear.
So, to recap: Josh not only got to watch his Dodgers at Dodger Stadium, but also walked away from the game owning a pair of major-league batting gloves and some autographed shoes. Being a young baseball fan sure has its perks.
