Cuban baseball player Loah Linares wants a tryout with the Los Angeles Dodgers so badly that he is willing to camp outside of Dodger Stadium until he gets one.
According to Adrienne Bankert of ABC 7, Linares has been sleeping outside of the stadium for 18 days now. In addition to that, per Bankert, Linares has tried (unsuccessfully) to get into the venue.
Linares has no plans of leaving his spot outside of Dodger Stadium anytime soon. He wants a shot to show the team what he can do, as he says he can play second base, shortstop and third base.
It's not clear if he is legitimately trying to get a tryout or if this is just a stunt. The reality is that the Dodgers are unlikely to give him a shot, mainly because it would set a bad precedent. He has to know that.
But hey, Linares can dream.
