Dodgers outfielder Kiké Hernandez candidly recounted a humorous yet embarrassing incident during the 2020 playoffs in a podcast appearance. He described how he experienced a bowel movement from antibiotic side effects while serving as a designated hitter. Celebrating a strikeout by pitcher Dustin May, Hernandez mistakenly thought he had merely farted. Despite the mishap, he struck out but expressed relief, stating he was 'never been happier to strike out in my life.' This light-hearted story highlights Hernandez's personable nature and adds to his colorful 12-season MLB career.
Though he didn't mention the specific game during the podcast appearance, he did provide more detail in a social media video, where he also told the story.
"This point I'm in the game as a designated hitter, getting ready to go in the game," Hernandez said. "Dustin May gets a strike out and I go 'F-k yeah!' and when I did that, I thought I farted."
"I struck out in three pitches and let me tell you, I've never been happier to strike out in my life."
The incident in question occurred during the 2020 playoffs while he was playing for the Dodgers, though he didn't reveal what round it had occurred in.
