Dodgers take Lemon Face Challenge, join Nick Saban in fight vs. DIPG

How can something so sour be so sweet?

The Los Angeles Dodgers became the latest to join the fight against Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Glioma (DIPG) by puckering up for the #LemonFaceChallenge on Friday. The social media movement was created by Aubreigh Nicholas, an 11-year-old girl in Mobile, Alabama, who has the rare form of brain cancer.

Dodgers utility player Kike Hernandez and his teammates and coaches appeared on a video taking a bite out of a lemon wedge in support of Aubreigh's Army.

At the end of the video, Hernandez, who said he got the idea from hitting coach Turner Ward, challenged the Arizona Diamondbacks to do the same.
