"And for a guy like me from Puerto Rico, kind of swam against the current my entire life, to be sitting in this position is pretty special. But at the same time, I haven't really wanted to reflect too much on it because there's going to be a time for that once I'm done playing, and I'm going to have a lot of years to reflect on it."
"But for now, I'm just, I mean, as cool as that is and I'm going to take that to the grave with me, I'm just focused on today. And it will be cool if my name is up there with the most Dodger World Series ever. But to be creeping up on playing the most playoff games as a Dodger is something that I never really dreamed of or thought that would happen."
Kiké Hernández has become a consistent postseason contributor for the Los Angeles Dodgers, appearing in four World Series trips since 2017. He has played in 85 playoff games for the Dodgers entering the 2025 World Series and has started all 10 postseason games this year. The Dodgers' all-time postseason games-played record is 86, held by Justin Turner. Hernández expressed humility and emotion about nearing the record, noting his Puerto Rican roots and the difficulty of his path. He said he avoids reflecting now, remains focused on the present, and will cherish the milestone later in life.
