Mookie Betts Has Hilarious Response After Dodgers’ 18-Inning Victory
The Los Angeles Dodgers and Toronto Blue Jays put together one of the greatest games in World Series history Monday night. These two teams battled back and forth for 18 innings before Dodgers first baseman Freddie Freeman clubbed a walk-off home run to center field to send the Dodgers home with a 6-5 victory.
But before that swing, Shohei Ohtani was the story of the game.
Ohtani clubbed two home runs and two doubles in his first four at-bats. He came up for a fifth time in the bottom of the ninth inning with a chance to win the game. So the Blue Jays intentionally walked him.
Ohtani came back to the plate in the 11th, 13th and 15th innings in the same situation and was intentionally walked each time. In the 17th inning, he was unintentionally walked, bringing his game line to 4-for-4 with 5 walks.
It's clear that Freeman and Ohtani were the two biggest Dodgers heroes from this incredible victory.
"When you go to sleep tonight, who will you be thinking about: Freddie? Shohei?" a reporter asked infielder Mookie Betts after the game, according to Dodgers beat writer Bill Plunkett.
"I'm probably not going to think about another man while I'm in bed," Betts responded, according to Plunkett.
Betts has been notorious for keeping the mood light regardless of the situation.
Even after an 18-inning thriller, Betts can make some people smile with his hilarious comments.
