Kiké Hernández is celebrating his second World Series win with Los Angeles Dodgers by serving fans at Raising Cane’s in Alhambra Monday morning.
Sky5 was over a massive crowd holding pictures and signs gathered around a stage set up outside the restaurant in anticipation of Kiké’s arrival.
KTLA”s Ginger Chan was there too, talking to Cynthia from Bellflower who was the first person in line after arriving at 8 p.m. on Sunday.
Cynthia said it’s Kiké’s attitude that draws her to him the most. “It’s the way he is. He’s very like, ‘I don’t care what people think about me,’ and that’s me! He’s the male version of me.”
Kiké took a moment to talk about the World Series win and the team’s long-awaited parade when he arrived Monday.
“Finally getting our parade is everything we imagined and more. The way the city showed up for us, it’s incredible. It’s really hard to put into words … it’s been all a dream,” he said.
The Dodgers star utility player is scheduled to work the counter and the drive-thru from 10 a.m. to 11 a.m. at the 1300 E. Valley Blvd. location, although it wouldn’t be surprising if he hung around a little longer.
“Hernández will slide into Raising Cane’s to trade his heroic October dingers for Cane’s craveable Chicken Fingers as he takes his first swing at bagging orders; buttering toast; pumping Cane’s Sauce; making Chicken Fingers and fries; working the front counter and Drive-Thru; serving hungry fans and more during his ‘shift,'” the restaurant stated.
Kiké isn’t the only Dodger mingling with fans Monday. Pitcher Walker Buehler, who closed out Game 5 of the World Series to win the Blue Crew’s 8th title, will be at the Dick’s Sporting Goods in Cerritos from 6 p.m. to 7:30 p.m.
Sky5 was over that scene as well where fans were a long line had already formed by 9 a.m.
