The city of L A has a new hero and he's a
00:02
Dodgers baby. And no,
00:04
it's not Otani, it's about Otani.
00:07
But I mean, if being at the right place at the
00:10
right time was a person.
00:12
It would be this guy.
00:16
Oh yeah, dude,
00:18
it's so wild. Look at,
00:19
look at will in the back,
00:20
the interpreter. These are the shock as we were when we
00:24
first saw this. Yes.
00:26
So that man right there that caught the ball is Javier Herrera
00:30
He's been an employee for the Dodgers for 18 seasons and
00:34
at L A local and he saved our season.
00:36
Yes, because he,
00:39
so the ball was gonna hit Otani,
00:41
dude, it was like directly at him.
00:44
So this guy literally.
00:45
So he's a ball boy,
00:46
right? So he literally caught the ball and saved Otani.
00:53
That's crazy. So to put that into perspective,
00:56
Otani makes 100 and 83,000 $561 per day.
01:05
And based on a 40 hour work week,
01:08
Otani will be clocking in at $32,211 per hour.
01:15
So do the math brother.
01:17
How much did he save the Dodgers with that.
01:19
Catch a lot. You know what,
01:22
Bobby? Thank you so much for your service.
01:24
You're a hero to LA.
01:26
I hope the daughters give you a nice bonus for this because
01:28
it's very well deserved.
01:29
And one day I hope I can meet you,
01:30
shake her hand because that's a hero right there.
01:33
I don't care for sure.
01:34
The reflex is on that guy for real.
01:37
Like, imagine, like I got you.
01:41
I got you. I got you brother.
01:42
Are you my hobby?
01:44
Random ass lemon came from?
01:46
Oh, my God.
01:47
I thank you so much.
01:50
You're the hero that the city needed.
