Los Angeles Dodgers star Teoscar Hernandez and his wife are switching hotels in Milwaukee during the NLCS due to rumors about the Pfister Hotel being haunted. Hernandez’s wife, Jennifer, is not fond of the paranormal activity claims, leading the couple to seek alternative accommodations despite Hernandez’s disbelief in ghosts.
The Pfister Hotel, an iconic establishment in Milwaukee, has become the subject of various supernatural tales, with some reports describing strange occurrences such as lights flickering, unexplained sounds, and even sightings of ghostly figures. These stories have reportedly influenced other Dodger players, including Mookie Betts, who has opted for Airbnbs instead of the hotel. While Hernandez himself dismisses the claims, he acknowledges the impact on his wife’s comfort and has arranged for a different lodging arrangement.
Hernandez, known for his powerful bat, contributed to the Dodgers’ early lead in the series opener with a home run in the second inning. The team’s performance in Game 1, where they narrowly defeated the Brewers, was crucial in setting the tone for the NLCS. The next three games will be played in Los Angeles, providing the Dodgers with a strategic advantage by reducing the need for long travel during the series.
While the situation is more about personal comfort than professional strategy, it highlights the growing influence of popular culture on athlete behavior. The team remains focused on their championship aspirations, with Hernandez expressing no doubts about his commitment to the cause. The outcome of the series will determine whether the Dodgers will face the Brewers in the World Series or if they can secure a strong lead without the need for further travel.
