Several of us probably dare to admit that when interviewing in the clubhouse, we always looked at what the players had in their lockers, especially if we wanted to be in the same fashion as the major league superstars.
The MLB YouTube channel seems to have the perfect content show for those who are constantly curious about Big League Locker, in which the players themselves exhibit the things that accompany them before and even during the matches.
In the new issue that came out Thursday, the Dodgers’ Venezuelan fighter Brusdar Graterol showed off his favorite articles.
Graterol started with two garments with which he can show in plain sight what he stands for. The first is the champion club Nike City Connect jersey worn across the chest by the Dodgers to celebrate and honor the Latino community of Los Angeles. The other is a shirt that he wears under his jersey that has VENEZUELA on the front and the flag of his country at the top.
“It’s more exciting to have this uniform,” Graterol said proudly displaying the blue Dodgers shirt. “Very happy, very happy obviously representing the Latino people, more Venezuela. A very beautiful country too. I will continue to represent it; I will always have my flag on my chest ”.
But after realizing that each item – including an elegant chain – has a deep meaning, we learned how his cool nickname of Bazooka.
The nickname, which he also carries on his hooks, even already has his own logo on a cap courtesy of his partner Justin Turner.
Graterol was nicknamed Bazooka in his days with the Twins not just because of his fastball, which has sometimes topped 100 miles per hour, but because of one of his celebrations.
However, in his first year with the Dodgers, Bazooka it had a more ‘friendly’ sense during the 2020 postseason, when a kiss ended an altercation with the Padres.
It remains to be seen if the Dodgers will start the postseason in the SDLN or if they will begin their title defense in the Wild Card Game, but there is no doubt that in the coming weeks Graterol and his Bazooka they will look to get crucial outs.
