‘God Among Men!’- MLB Community Laud ‘Definition of an Athlete’ Mookie Betts for All-Round Showcase for LA Dodgers

Baseball is a simple game. And this simple game also has a very simple rule that no one should run when Mookie Betts has the ball. A player par excellence, having Mookie Betts by their side is a privilege that only the LA Dodgers have.

The Dodgers have probably the best lineup in the entire Major League Baseball. With Mookie Betts by their side, who is an exceptional hitter as well as a right-fielder, their squad will only get better. In a recent game against the Philadelphia Phillies, Betts displayed his all-around performance from the home plate and field.

Players like him can steal the game from the jaws of defeat for their side. And that is exactly what Mookie Betts did against the Phillies. He turned the game single-handedly for the Dodgers at the Citizens Bank Park.

Taking to Twitter, baseball fans lauded Betts for his unreal game against the Phillies.

NBA legend, Magic Johnson, also heaped praise on the Dodgers star for his scintillating display against the Phillies. Johnson said that Betts did everything that a baseball player possibly can do in the ballpark.

“Mookie Betts did it all tonight with his bat, glove, and arm in the Dodgers’ 7-4 win over the Phillies! He hit a home run, made a spectacular catch, and threw a man out from third base trying to score at home. That play should be on #SCTop10 tonight,” tweeted the NBA legend.
