Dodgers’ kiké hernandez relives time he pooped pants during 2020 playoffs: ‘different walk than usual’

Dodgers outfielder Kiké Hernandez unknowingly suffered a bowel movement during a playoff baseball game, he retold during a talk show released this week.  Herndandez was appearing on “Cold as

Balls” hosted by comedian Kevin Hart when the story came up, leading the Dodger to explain that he had been taking an antibiotic for a cracked root canal, which had a side effect of

diarrhea.  “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. So I go up the stairs to go hit and it’s kind of a different walk than usual…and I’m like alright, gotta try to focus, lock it in and get into it. “I struck out in three

pitches and let me tell you, I’ve never been happier to strike out in my life.”  Though Hernandez didn’t mention the specific game during the podcast appearance, he did provide more detail

in a social media video posted by the Red Sox in 2023, where he also told the story.  EXPLORE MORE The incident in question occurred during the 2020 playoffs while he was playing for the
