Larry Thomas, the actor who played the "Soup Nazi," will also be present for the event, according to Anthony DiComo of MLB.com.
Hernandez appeared in two episodes of "Seinfeld" in 1992 as the boyfriend of Elaine Benes, and he later returned for the series finale in 1998. The five-time All-Star revealed in 2015 that he still makes around $3,000 per year from royalties through re-runs of the show.
