While fans are always looking to get some game-used gear from athletes, it’s not often that a player asks for something in return.
But Kike Hernandez of the Los Angeles Dodgers likes to mix things up.
On Saturday, a young Dodgers fan asked Hernandez if he could get his hands on the utility man’s batting gloves. Hernandez obliged—but not without making a deal.
The fan got Hernandez’s batting gloves all right, but the Dodgers player got the fan’s shoes.
It’s an unusual trade, but hey, it’s fair to both sides. And the fan did not have to go barefoot all game. Hernandez gave the shoes back, but only after autographing them.
Not a bad deal for the fan.
