Watch: Dodgers Fans Get Autographs From Padres Star Manny Machado
Don't get it twisted ladies and gentlemen... Manny Machado is going be a Padre for life. No city has accepted him and supported him the way that San Diego has and even though the sports world loved seeing him pose with Kobe Bryant while wearing number eight on his Dodgers jersey, the Boys in Blue boat sailed a long time ago for him.
But fans in LA do strongly believe in their phrase 'Once a Dodger, always a Dodger', even if that means that Machado gets boo'd and heckled up until the opportunity presents itself to talk to him and ask for an autograph.
We are just one day removed from Dodger Stadium ripping Machado whenever his name was called by the announcers as they boo'd him even more than Fernando Tatis Jr, which is saying something considering their history with him. But our captain lets none of the faze him as he remains true to himself... have a look at him bonding with Dodgers fans ahead of Sunday's match.
At the end of the day, he realizes the impact he has on baseball fans and he has never been one to turn down a moment to connect with them, no matter who they go for.
