Betts hits a lying home run in that at-bat…fan actually names daughter after ‘Mookie’
By Kyung Yoon Kim = Baseball is a story sport. It’s a sport of stories that happen every day for months on end, piling up to form an epic.
The main characters in baseball are the players, but sometimes managers, managers, and coaches are the main characters.
Sometimes it’s the fans.
Giuseppe Mancuso, an avid Los Angeles Dodgers fan, made a big splash in Major League Baseball (MLB) on Saturday.
Mancuso traveled to Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles, California, to watch the Dodgers take on the Oakland Athletics on March 3.
Sitting behind the backstop, Mancuso had a chance to chat with star player Mookie Betts, 30, as he prepared to bat in the bottom of the second inning.
Betts, who is known for his fan service and jovial personality, often interacts with fans.
Mancuso laughed and said to Betts, “If you hit a home run in this at-bat, I’m going to name my daughter’s middle name Mookie.” Betts replied, “Don’t do that.
Betts replied, “Don’t do that. My wife wouldn’t like that.”
After the conversation, Betts stepped up to the plate and lined a home run to left-center field.
He even exchanged fist bumps with Mancuso after crossing home plate.
Two weeks later. Betts received some surprising news from his cousin, who manages his social media accounts.바카라사이트
Mr. Mancuso had actually named his daughter Francesca “Mookie” Mancuso.
Betts was stunned by the news.
“After hitting the home run, I had completely forgotten that I had made this promise,” he said on social media.
“I haven’t been in touch with Ms. Mancuso yet, but I can’t wait to meet Francesca, she’s going to be like a daughter to me,” he laughed.
