A Tale of Two Mookies

[Guest Mets � Willets Point]

When Mookie Betts made his major league debut for the Red Sox on Sunday night at MFY Stadium, he became the second player in MLB history named Mookie.

The first is cheering for him: https://www.bostonglobe.com/sports/2014/06/29/mookie-betts-has-new-fan-baseball-original-mookie/FY1rzwM7aOl4f6I1SZJdcJ/story.html

It's nice that after all these years Red Sox fans will be able to cheer for a Mookie.

Betts hit his first home run tonight. Sits 66 behind Wilson on the all-time Mookie HR list.
