Mookie Betts just made this young fan’s night.
During the Los Angeles Dodgers’ Monday night game against the Milwaukee Brewers, Betts went out of his way to make this special moment happen for a fan. Instead of his usual between innings warm up, Betts found a young Dodgers fan in the right field stands — holding a “Mookie wanna play catch?” sign — and decided to play catch with him!
And it wasn’t just one throw either, as Betts and the Dodgers fan went back and forth for minutes between the half inning as the right fielder got warmed up. Talk about a moment to remember right there.

That is absolutely a moment that fan will look back on fondly for the rest of his life. What a wonderfully classy exchange from Betts to take time out of his warmup to make that young fan’s dream come true!
