Dodgers’ Kiké Hernández Unveils the Mysterious Pokémon Card He’s Obsessed With Collecting Forever
So instead of taking up pickleball, crochet or baking, Hernández started ripping Pokémon packs.

Hernández said he originally started collecting Pokémon cards as a kid, but was excited to return to it as an adult. The first pack he opened was enough to transport the 35-year-old Dodgers fan favorite backward in time.
“The smell, the sensation of ripping a pack, all these things,” Hernández said. “It made me feel like a kid.”
What began as an escape during an emotionally difficult stretch soon became something bigger when his 5-year-old daughter, Penélope, joined him.
She fell for Pikachu, just like her dad.
