A Dodgers fan posts graphic pictures of injuries during a World Series fireworks accident.
Kevin King, a 25-year-old L.A. Dodgers fan, has shown remarkable resilience after a firework accident during the World Series left him without his pointer and middle fingers on his left hand. King has undergone four surgeries since the incident in Downtown L.A. and remains hopeful that this will be his last, though additional procedures might still be necessary.
Despite the life-changing injury, King is focusing on the positives, expressing gratitude that the accident didn’t affect his face, eyes, or ears. “If you’re only losing a couple of fingers, don’t worry about it,” he told TMZ Sports, showcasing his positive outlook on the situation.
While King has reached out to the Dodgers through their social media platforms, he has yet to hear back. However, he has received overwhelming support from strangers online. One individual, who experienced a similar firework accident, reached out to provide advice and emotional support. King has also been deeply moved by donations to his GoFundMe, emphasizing his gratitude for the kindness shown by others.
King hopes his experience serves as a cautionary tale, encouraging people to leave fireworks to professionals. Though he isn’t seeking sympathy, he aims to inspire others facing challenges by demonstrating resilience and a positive attitude in the face of adversity.
