Andre Ethier has always been known as a fan favorite at Dodger Stadium. On Wednesday, he made his fan impact even more evident.

Fans sitting in the first seven rows of section 52 got a nice little surprise from #16. They received free Dodger Dogs wrapped with a note that read “Compliments of Andre Ethier, 16” with a silhouette of him swinging. The fans were very pleased at the nice gesture until of course, the news of Matt Kemp re aggravating his left hamstring, but let’s not get back into that.

Andre has been, in my opinion, one of the most underrated and least talked about Dodger this year. Any time I get the chance, I always give some credit to ‘Dre. He has been absolutely killing it this year, and is one of, if not the reason for the Dodgers doing as well as they are this year. I will always respect Matt Kemp as a player, and understand what he does as a leader of this club, but with all of the recent injuries, Ethier has stepped up beyond what anyone has asked of him and taken over that leader position on the field. My hat goes off to you, Andre. And thanks for the Dodger Dogs!
