Each year the Los Angeles Dodgers hold a ping pong tournament during Spring Training. It’s the brainchild of Clayton Kershaw, who hosts an annual celebrity ping pong event at Dodger Stadium, and is an avid fan of the sport.
Shortly after all players report to camp at Camelback Ranch, a ping pong table is rolled into the clubhouse to serve as a training grounds and where the Dodgers stage the spring matchups.
However, on Tuesday morning, the ping pong table was curiously replaced by a pool table. Much to Kershaw’s chagrin, it was a prank put on by Adrian Gonzalez.
The veteran first baseman later shared video of the swap on his Instagram account:
Got tired of ? so I decided to change it up ? #SorryKersh #sorrynotsorry #justalittleprank

The ping pong table was eventually returned to its place, and the tournament matchups are expected to carry on without issue. Last year, the Brandon Beachy-Scott Van Slyke tandem defeated Chris Anderson and Justin Turner in the championship match.
The Dodgers have plenty of time to play this year, as the World Baseball Classic has made for a longer Spring Training.
