Los Angeles Dodgers icon Mookie Betts is a fun and charming presence whenever he graces the camera. He is famous for his hearty laughter and passion for many other sports besides baseball. Betts often sets some time apart to honor his contemporaries and friends outside the field with hilarious ranks or titles like “funniest teammate” and whatnot.
In a recent similar stint, the slugger was seen reflecting on some of the well-known faces outside the diamond. For a list that includes personas like Lionel Messi and Lewis Hamilton, it looks incredible, don’t you think? Let’s see what Mookie had to say about their prospective baseball performances!

Cut4 recently posted a video on X, formerly Twitter, that showed Mookie Betts rolling out the rankings with a carefully crafted, professional yet cheerful introduction. He says, “Today, I’m doing blind rankings on how other athletes would perform in my sport.”

Betts ranked French basketball player Victor Wembanyama in the last position of fifth, stating that “Wemby” is too big to be very good at baseball. Lionel Messi, soccer legend, got placed in the fourth spot after much consideration that was reflected on Betts’ face.
The third position was given out to F1 racer Lewis Hamilton; footballer Travis Kelce of the Kansas City Chiefs secured the second position, obviously for his much-renowned ability to read the players in front of him.
Mookie Betts was almost done with the list when the person behind the camera asked him how Pete Weber, the pro bowler, would score in the game. Betts gave out one of his signature laughs and answered, “I lost; we lost!” His reply naturally posts Weber in the first position, a name he’s more than familiar with because of their shared love of bowling.

What many Dodgers fans might not know about Mookie Betts is that he plays as a professional bowler himself when he’s not showing off his skills on the diamond. Famous for his streaks of “Strikes,” spectators of tournaments like World Series Bowling or the U.S. Open Championships often witness him shooting impeccable throws down the skittle alleys. His technique exudes a perfection that is seen only in the legends of the bowling leagues.
