Dodgers News: Mookie Betts Shares Heartwarming Story of Run-In with Dodger Fan

Fans are what makes baseball special.

Without the Dodgers fans, there are no superstars, no atmosphere, no Dodgers baseball.

Hitting home runs for players is special whether it’s their first, last, or breaking a milestone. Well for Mookies 242nd career home runs he created a very special memory for him and a fan.

While on deck in the bottom of the second innings against the Oakland Athletics Mookie Betts struck a conversation with a diehard fan Giuseppe Mancuso. Mancuso told Betts that if he were to hit a home run right now he will have his daughter’s middle name be Mookie.
