World Series is about to start, and teams are also selected. With two teams selected to play in the WS, the rest of the team’s players are spending their time in the offseason doing stuff they like. One such example is of LA Dodgers player, Mookie Betts.

The Dodgers is the team that showed signs of going straight to the World Series. But in the end, it became the team that couldn’t even win the NLDS to advance to the NLCS.
There are other games that Betts is interested in other than baseball, and they are bowling and basketball. The right fielder used to play basketball in his university days and recently appeared spending his time doing the same.
Where was Mookie Betts playing basketball?
Dressed up in Memphis Tiger’s men’s basketball gear, Betts was seen making some shots in his hometown, Tennessee. Since the man played basketball in his college days, he is pretty good at it as well.

It would appear from his skills that had he not chosen baseball, he could have gone for basketball as his profession. But that does not mean he is not a good baseball player.
He became the first ever person in the history of Major League Baseball to win Most Valuable Player, Silver Slugger, Gold Glove, a batting title, and World Series, all in a single year in 2018. But the player has good and bad days. His game with the Dodgers fell short of the way the fans have expected. Therefore, when the video of Betts playing basketball appeared on Twitter, MLB fans started berating him for not playing well in the postseason.
What are fans saying about Betts?
To be good at both games does not mean he can’t be bad at either a few times.
all that just to suck in the postseason
