Dodgers starting pitcher Walker Buehler was robbed of his expensive watch at Santa Anita Park in Arcadia.
It’s unclear when the incident occurred but it was reported a mob of people surrounded Buehler and his wife, McKenzie Marcinek. That’s when someone allegedly unbuttoned his shirt sleeve and took the watch.
A spokesperson for the Dodgers had no comment on the incident.
This comes as Buehler prepares to take the mound in Game 3 of the National League Division Series Tuesday in San Diego.
Buehler grew up in Lexington, Kentucky and is a lifelong fan of horse racing.
In fact, Buehler has a micro-share ownership in the American Thoroughbred racehorse Authentic, which was trained by Bob Baffert and won the Kentucky Derby in 2020.
