Dodger star Enrique “Kiké” Hernández, fresh off the team’s World Series victory last week, worked a “shift” at Raising Cane’s restaurant in Alhambra as a fry cook and cashier.

The morning shift – serving customers at the drive-thru and walk-in counter – was quite a stark contrast to the idea of ​​a professional athlete skipping town after the big game in search of a vacation destination.

But there was Hernandez, who happily worked a morning promotional shift at Raising Canes, greeting fans eager to interact with a Dodgers hero. With the World Series victory still fresh, he took some time to reflect on an epic Dodgers season – while munching on some Chicken Fingers and fries.

“The way the city showed up for us. It’s unbelievable,” he said. “It’s really hard to put into words. But the past few days, the past few weeks have all been a dream.

Hernandez was especially supportive of the Dodgers because he came up with hits and plays at the right time that made a difference during the playoffs.

“So I walk up to home plate and try to hit a pitch,” he said of his approach. “When I get a good throw, I put the ball in play and good things happen.”

Hernandez’s performance drew quite a crowd outside, where fans cheered him on.
