Former Dodgers star Andre Ethier discussed an upcoming partnership and Shohei Ohtani’s impact among other topics in an exclusive interview with ClutchPoints.
The Los Angeles Dodgers feature a storied history with many memorable stars. One such former star recently took some time for an exclusive interview with ClutchPoints.
Andre Ethier, who spent his entire MLB career (2006-2017) in LA, was a two-time All-Star and also won a Gold Glove and a Silver Slugger Award. Ethier and Hunter Pence, another former MLB star, both partnered with Sam’s Club and Pepsi to offer fans Sam’s Club’s new cheddar cheese pork hot dog and a Pepsi Zero Sugar combo at Sam’s Club Cafe. Ethier will host a community event in Torrance, CA on Wednesday, July 17 (National Hot Dog Day) from 2-6 PM local time where fans can meet the former Dodgers outfielder.
During our exclusive interview, Ethier discussed his new partnership as well as baseball topics such as Shohei Ohtani’s impact on the Dodgers. Without further ado, let’s get into the interview.
Joey Mistretta: Let’s start with the partnership with Sam’s Club and Pepsi. What made you want to do this and what gets you excited about National Hot Dog Day?
Andre Ethier: First of all, Sam’s Club, there’s no better part of my day spent when it’s the Sam’s Club run. I am a shopping cart pushing expert through Sam’s Club. I know the rules now especially when I go with my wife. Don’t get too far, don’t wander off. If she’s putting stuff in the cart, you always have to be within distance. Those Sam’s Club runs are always great…
I was reintroduced to sodas again in my life recently because I’ve been looking for a substitute for sweetness and something like that. When zero sugar sodas started being released, I kind of tried them all and Pepsi Zero Sugar was the one I kind of settled on. It’s kind of a match made perfect for me.
Sam’s Club Pepsi Zero Sugar and then throw in the hot dog for the summer is the perfect combo. We all know that hot dogs, baseball, and now Pepsi are the perfect combo for summer… Being in LA, being a Dodger, I’m pretty well accustomed to what the hot dog means to Dodger Stadium. I’m excited for this pork cheddar hot dog that’s coming out and the combo with Pepsi there.
