Dodgers first baseman Adrián González is leading the movement in encouraging Latino players across MLB to put Spanish accents on their jerseys.
On Monday, González tweeted a video of himself walking onto the field showing off his jersey with an accent over the “a.” He also included the hashtag #ponleacento, which translates to “put on the accent.”
Después de 16 años en las grandes ligas solo me faltaba ponerle acento a una cosa. @kikehndez te reto #ponleacento. pic.twitter.com/lPwALrhR8G

For those who do not know Spanish, the tweet translates:
“After 16 years in the major leagues the only thing left was to put an accent on one thing. Kike Hernández I dare you.”
