Kiké Hernández struggled throughout the 2024 season but once again rose to the occasion to help the Los Angeles Dodgers win their eighth World Series title in franchise history.
The super utility man hit .294/.357/.451 with one triple, two home runs and six RBI in 14 postseason games, including a 5-for-18 showing against the New York Yankees in the Fall Classic.
Hernández returned to the Dodgers at the 2023 MLB trade deadline and has spent parts of eight seasons with the team. The 33-year-old has won two World Series championships with the Dodgers and is considered an important part of their success over the last decade.
Artist Gustavo Zermeño Jr. painted a mural of Hernández that can be found at Café Tropical in Silver Lake.
Zermeño has also honored World Series MVP Freddie Freeman with a mural in Los Angeles as well. Freeman not only played through a sprained right ankle during the postseason, but fractured rib cartilage as well.
Freeman sustained his rib injury in the days leading up to the start of the National League Division Series. It was not disclosed until after the Dodgers won the World Series.
Where are the Kiké Hernández and Freddie Freeman murals?
Zermeño’s previous work includes a Shohei Ohtani mural at Oceanview Liquor in Hermosa Beach. Alongside one side of the wall of the shop is shared space to celebrate the Los Angeles Kings and Dodgers.
Several Kings players live in Hermosa Beach, and Zermeño paid tribute to Drew Doughty and Dustin Brown. They were paired with Ohtani and Mookie Betts representing the Dodgers. Also featured on the blue wall is the signature Dodgers logo with the trademark baseball flying.
