Best known for his role as "Short Round" in the 1984 smash Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, Luis Hernandez also appeared in Goonies and numerous episodes of Head of the Class before becoming an obscure journeyman infielder.

After co-starring in 1992's Encino Man, Hernandez decided to focus solely on baseball. Ironically, despite famously wearing a baseball cap during most of his screen time in Temple of Doom, Hernandez did not seriously take up the sport until much later.

The Temple of Doom?

Lightweight compared to the horror of Royals infield defense.

Soren Petro of 810 has made this point repeatedly

and it seems painfully obvious after tonight; The fat kid that can hit always plays first base. Why wasn’t Billy learning how to play this position in the minors? He clearly has the hand-eye coordination to be a good gloveman even if he lacks speed. He’s made a lot of nice plays in the last couple months. He’s just lacking the experience and repetition at first. Who was over-seeing the minor league system that thought Butler wasting his time at third and outfield was a good idea?

I liked him in The Goonies the most

I don't know how to put this but I'm kind of a big deal.

Who wrote this P.O.S.? “Short Round” was played by a kid named Johnathan Ke Quan. Ever heard of IMDB?
