Padres catcher Austin Hedges wears full Kentucky basketball uniform to team workout

March Madness can bring out the competitive side in anyone, especially if your favorite team -- or your alma mater -- is involved.

Such was the case with San Diego Padres catcher Austin Hedges and manager Andy Green.

According to Padres reporter AJ Cassavell, Hedges is a huge UCLA fan. Green played baseball for Kentucky, so he and Hedges placed a bet on the outcome of the Bruins-Wildcats meeting in the Sweet 16 last Friday. Kentucky emerged with an 86-75 win, and apparently that meant it was time for Hedges to rock a full Wildcats uniform.
