Los Angeles Dodgers shortstop Mookie Betts and former Dodgers outfielder Justin Dean gave an uplifting message targeted at younger athletes towards the end of their livestream with internet personality Adin Ross on Thursday.
Being MLB players, Betts and Dean have both overcome the odds in their pursuit of greatness. Betts may not have even played baseball if not for his mom, who had to make a team so her son could play, and he nearly quit baseball to pursue a career in basketball while in the minor leagues. Now, Betts is a four-time World Series champion, eight-time All-Star and a surefire inclusion into the Hall of Fame once he retires.
