Dodgers' Kiké Hernandez relives time he pooped pants during 2020 playoffs

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. 

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. 

Hernandez has played in the major leagues for 12 seasons, spending nine of them with the Dodgers. 

His MLB stops have also included the Red Sox, Astros and Marlins. 

He was part of two World Champion Dodger squads, winning a World Series title with Los Angeles in 2020 during the COVID season and again in 2024 when he was part of the championship team

that was able to celebrate a title after defeating the Yankees.
