Red Sox outfielder Mookie Betts has long provided heroics on the field, and now the likely American League MVP is an All-Star off the field as well after being identified in a tweet performing a simple act of kindness for Boston's hungry and homeless.
Hours after Betts and the Red Sox took a 2-0 World Series lead on Wednesday and, with temperatures dipping into the 30s overnight, the generous star reportedly provided hot meals from trays of food to the city's homeless outside the Boston Public Library.
Former Red Sox infielder Lou Merloni, who hosts a show on Boston sports radio WEEI, took to Twitter on Thursday night to share a photo and bring light to Betts' Good Samaritan gesture.
