"Today's a special day. It's Miss Rachel Robinson's 100th birthday," Betts said. "So on the count of three, I want everybody here to say: 'Happy Birthday, Rachel!'"
Rachel Robinson didn’t travel from her home in Connecticut to the game.
"That tribute is probably the thing I’ll remember the most," Betts said. "It was very special for me to be able to be on the mic and say it."
