Reflecting on his favorite memories from Tokyo, Hernandez shared (via Dodger Nation):

“As far as memories, I think the most special one for me was my daughter seeing snow for the first time ever. We’ve built some incredible core memories, and I know that for my wife and myself, it’s a trip we’ll never forget.”

“And I’m pretty sure my 4-year-old is never going to forget coming to Japan, going to Disney Sea a couple days ago and seeing snow for the first time, I’m pretty sure it’s going to be a memorable memory for her.”

Kike Hernandez played in both Tokyo Series games after Freddie Freeman's injury concern, recording eight at-bats, one home run, and three RBIs.
