Cuban man goes to the extreme for Dodgers tryout, sleeps outside stadium image

A Cuban man is doing whatever it takes to get a tryout with the Dodgers, even if that means sleeping outside of their ballpark.

According to ABC 7 in Los Angeles, Loah Linares has been sleeping on the sidewalk and training in the streets outside of Dodger Stadium for more than two weeks with the hopes of attracting attention from the Dodgers organization.

"If I didn't know how great a baseball player I know I am, I wouldn't be here trying to show off my skills to somebody," Linares said.

Linares said he will camp outside the ballpark for however long it takes for the owners to give him a shot on the field.

"Shortstop, second base, third base … Once again, I just want the opportunity to show them, not tell them," he said.
