Clayton Kershaw is usually the one sending batters to the dugout feeling depressed after a feeble at-bat. But the Dodgers’ ace got a taste of his own medicine Wednesday afternoon while playing some wiffle ball against Albert Pujols (for their respective charities).
As you can see below, Albert channeled his inner R.A. Dickey — in 100-degree heat — to make Kershaw look foolish on his mighty hacks:

Kershaw eventually adjusted, choking up on the bat to make some contact:

We have to ask: Did Zack Greinke’s invite get lost somehow? Dude is always aching to swing the bat.
