LJ FB: Hurt's son gets designer cookies, and a spot on the team

Kevin Hurt is the kicking/punting coach for the Viking football team. His son, Kyle, grew up attending Torrey Pines High and playing baseball at a high level.

For the Seoul Series featuring the Dodgers and Padres last week (March 20-21), Kyle received a special gift: waiting in his hotel room at the Fairmont Ambassador were three designer cookies. They depicted a glove, a baseball, and a bat, in a nice gift box. (See photo above.)

The even bigger news for Kyle, a right-handed pitcher who was on Los Angeles' 40-man roster over the offseason, was that this week he earned a right to a cubicle in the Dodger clubhouse (see photo below) upon making the team out of Spring Training to begin the 2024 season State-side.

It's quite an accomplishment, and one that son and father have worked hard for over the past decade-plus. Congratulations, Kyle!

Not infrequently, during games in the Fall for Coach Tyler Roach's football team, proud papa Kevin would have his phone handy to catch play-by-play of a postseason game. He subscribed to MiLB, the minor league baseball broadcasts that included Oklahoma City, the Dodgers' AAA affiliate that Kevin last played for.
