Fan gives newly born 'Mookie' as middle name after HR bet with Betts - ESPN

LOS ANGELES — There's a new baby girl in the world named for Mookie Betts.

The Los Angeles Dodgers slugger was in the on-deck circle awaiting his at-bat at home on Aug. 2 against Oakland. A fan told Betts that if he hit a home run the man would give his soon-to-be born daughter the middle name of «Mookie.»

«I heard this and I laughed, and he said he was serious,» Betts recounted Tuesday in a video on his social media accounts. «I turned around and told him, 'No, don't do that bro. Don't do that.'»

Betts again urged the man not to do it, saying, «Your wife wouldn't like that.»

One of the coolest moments of ya boy's entire career! Bro is a man of his word
