Red Sox fans gave Mookie Betts a thrilling tribute in his return to Fenway Park

Mookie Betts Sox Red Sox Fenway (Facility) Fenway Park MLB Boston

Mookie Betts is one of the most electric players in the MLB, and it’s a continued bewilderment that he got traded by the Boston Red Sox in the prime of his career.

The Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder made his grand return to Fenway Park on Friday night, the first time he had played in Boston since being traded in 2020 to L.A. in one of the most scrutinized baseball trades of all time.

Of course, the move more than worked out for Betts as he won a World Series with Los Angeles later that year. The Red Sox, however, have struggled to replace one of the game’s best players.

Although, there are still plenty of warm feelings for Betts in Boston, and Red Sox fans gave him a hero’s welcome in his first trip back to Fenway.

I mean, how can you not get emotional about this? Betts’ clearly moved reaction to the tribute just cements this as one of the coolest moments of the MLB season so far.

Even if he’s a Dodger, there is still plenty of love for Betts in the city where his professional career started.

MLB fans had plenty of emotions from this tribute.
