Dodgers star Kiké Hernández 'works' at Alhambra Raising Cane’s
ALHAMBRA, Calif. - Can you imagine going through a drive-thru to pick up chicken at Raising Cane's and having 2024 World Series Champion center fielder Kiké Hernández hand you the food?
That's exactly what happened at the Alhambra location, where Hernández was ‘working’ and shooting a commercial for the chicken chain.
Cameras packed around him as he took orders and dished out food for a commercial. He did take time to sign quite a few autographs and express how crazy the last few days have been.
"I' am hoping to be back at home in Puerto Rico by Thanksgiving", he shared, adding "it's all like a dream!".
Hernández worked the cash register and fryer and served some lucky fans from the counter and drive-thru.
SkyFOX video from the scene showed hundreds of people gathered in front of the Raising Cane's waiting to get a glimpse of the Dodgers superstar.

Meanwhile, at Dick's Sporting Goods store in el Cerritos, people began lining up as early as 2 a.m. for a chance to get an autograph from Walker Buehler. Others lined up at the Glendale store, for a chance to get Mookie Betts' autograph.
Fans were so excited they could barely speak, but echoed the sentiment that the Glow of the World Series Win still shines bright. "We needed this," said one person in line "as fans, but we also needed it for the city of Angels!'
