Rookie Joc Pederson fetches Dodgers coffee wearing full uniform in Wrigleyville
One great detail about September in Major League Baseball: Rookies are made by veterans to do embarrassing stuff because they're new.
One great detail about National League baseball in Chicago: Wrigley Field is located in a residential/commercial neighborhood that allows ballplayers to run out for a snack, or coffee, or... have a rookie run out for coffee. Yeah!
Such happened to Los Angeles Dodgers rookie slugger Joc Pederson on Friday morning, before a matinee against the Chicago Cubs. Dodgers teammates interested in consuming more than what was available inside of the visitor's clubhouse used their prerogative to send Pederson and a clubhouse helper to the nearest Starbucks, across the street, for some Mocachocolattes, Arianagrandes and Venticuatronueves.
And Pederson had to wear his full uniform — sneakers instead of cleats being the exception — when he made his coffee run. That's the funniest part, too, because baseball players always look so odd when they're dressed up in "the world" but not "at the ballpark."
Commence with the Joc-ularity!
You also might remember Pederson from when his minor league team gave away his '94 Buick Century.
Pederson, in all likelihood, will have his day to order coffee. He's a top prospect, one (as noted by CBS Eye on Baseball) who was the first player in the past 80 years in the Pacific Coast League to finish with 30 home runs and 30 stolen bases in a season. Do that in the majors, or come close, and it will buy you a lot of Alpacinos Due Ralphmaccios. All bought by someone with less service time.
