The 2020 MLB season was weird for everyone, but maybe no one had it as weird as Kiki Hernandez.
Hernandez was playing for the Los Angeles Dodgers at the time, and they won their first World Series since 1988.
It’s a moment Hernandez will always remember. But a few weeks before that, he had what he called his most embarrassing moment in the big leagues.

Hernandez, now with the Boston Red Sox, recalled soiling himself during a postseason game.
“[In the] The 2020 playoffs, I had a tooth infection, so I was taking some antibiotics for my infection, and a side effect was diarrhea,” Hernandez explained. “We got out in a big situation during the NLDS, and I cried. ‘F Yes!’ I was DHing and I thought I was gone.
“I went out to lead off the inning, I struck out on three pitches. When I went to the dugout, I went straight to the bathroom and pulled my pants down. I got all short.”
Justin Turner, now on the Sox, was also a member of that Dodgers team. He needed clarification.
“So you’re saying you misunderstood a fart?” he asked.
Hernandez took it on the chin.
“Oh no,” Hernandez said. “What I’m saying is — I have my pants on during a game in the playoffs.”

Despite the mishap, it was an easy series for Los Angeles, who defeated the San Diego Padres in three games. The Dodgers then came back from a 3–1 deficit to defeat the Atlanta Braves in the NLCS before defeating the Tampa Bay Rays in six games in the World Series.
