Hanser Alberto has filled a lot of roles for the Dodgers this year, as a utility infielder, an occasional pitcher, and a clubhouse leader. His smile is infectious, and it’s clear the fans and his teammates all love him.
Coming from the Dominican Republic, Alberto saw baseball as his best chance at a better life and saw happiness as a key to that goal.
“I put that extra smile, happiness, enjoy what we’re doing, because where we come from in the Dominican, all we think is baseball. That’s the biggest way that we have to get a better life, to support others, to help family.
