ALHAMBRA, Calif. (KABC) -- Dozens of Dodger fans lined up outside a Raising Cane's in Alhambra Monday morning to get a chance to see one of the team's star players don an apron.

Fresh off his second World Series Championship with the Dodgers, Kike Hernández added two new titles to his resume.

The center fielder picked up a shift as a fry cook and worked the register Monday morning.

Fresh off his second World Series Championship with the Dodgers, Kike Hernández is adding a new job to his resume.

During his appearance, Hernández talked about that feeling when the team was on the buses during the World Series victory parade and saw the sea of blue waiting for them.

"I had a smile from ear to ear the entire time, and that's just pure joy, pure happiness. As much as I was happy about it, I was happy for the city and this fan base, because they deserved the parade as much as we did. I was just glad we able to get one," he said.

Fans who flocked to the location said this World Series title was extra special because during the 2020 championship year, the Dodgers won but there was no celebration - 2024 makes up for that.

"It's an absolute dream come true. It validates absolutely everything we've done. It validates 2020 as far as I'm concerned," said Leticia, a fan from Covina.

Hernández wasn't the only Dodger star drawing crowds this week. At the Dick's Sporting Goods in Cerritos Monday, 150 Dodger fans will get a chance to meet World Series hero Walker Buehler.

Fans started lining up since Sunday afternoon. Lynwood resident Jessica Washington was first in line to get one of the coveted wristbands to meet the Dodger great.

"We got to the parade, for the celebration parade, at 5 a.m. and we had the best time. So my oldest daughter just happened to see it on social media. We couldn't believe that Walker Buehler would be here in Cerritos. So once we verified it, we had to come," she said.

Betts is expected to be at the Dick's Sporting Goods Glendale location on Wednesday.
