Cody Bellinger has blossomed into a superstar and National League MVP candidate for the Los Angeles Dodgers, cementing himself as a fan favorite. Over the past few days, it has become apparent just how much he is adored by some.
During Sunday’s win over the Colorado Rockies at Dodger Stadium, a fan ran onto the field and was tackled by security while trying to hug Bellinger. According to Bellinger, the fan, a young girl, told him that possibly going to jail was “worth it” for a chance to hug him.
However, it became apparent that this was not an isolated incident when another fan ran onto the field during Monday’s loss to the Arizona Diamondbacks and attempted to make contact with Bellinger before security restrained her.
