Even after playing in his first game back at Fenway Park since being traded by the Red Sox in 2020, Mookie Betts is still saying hello to some old friends.
Ahead of Saturday’s game, Betts met up with Hall of Famer and former teammate David Ortiz in the Red Sox’ dugout.
“My dog,” Ortiz began after he dapped up Betts.
“Just trying to be like you one day,” Betts said.
Ortiz had a message he wanted to share with Betts.
“Last night, when you walked to the plate and I saw the ovation you got from the fans, that made me feel like I wanted to be here, clapping for you,” Ortiz said as he clapped his hands together.
