There were few in the history of sports that recognized the support and importance of fans than the late Kobe Bryant. Forever a titan in sports history and in Los Angeles, Kobe knew what he meant to his fans and always wanted to repay them with his play. The Dodgers have a little bit of that with Mookie Betts.
On Sunday afternoon, we all got to see the kind of things that Mookie does to grow the game and fanbase. The Dodgers outfielder took it upon himself to retrieve the first big league home run for Reds’ outfielder TJ Friedl by trading him for a bat.
