Mookie Betts finally gets closure on Red Sox career, crushes former team in return to Fenway Park

Published Wed, 12 Feb 2025 11:01:47 GMT

Mookie Betts knew his first return to Boston since being traded by the Red Sox would be emotional. But he didn’t want it to become a distraction when he stepped onto the field at Fenway Park.So to help him focus on baseball, he leaned on some wise words of the late Kobe Bryant.“I have a job to take care of. Gotta separate business and emotion,” Betts said Sunday after he led the Dodgers to a series victory over the Red Sox. “I’ve learned from a couple people, especially Kobe. I got to talk to him right before he (died), he kind of explained that to me and I just put it into my repertoire.”Betts’ performance this weekend would have certainly made Bryant proud. The Dodgers outfielder was, naturally, instrumental in beating his former team this weekend, which he helped complete in Sunday’s 7-4 rubber game victory with a 3-for-5, three-RBI performance that included a two-run homer over the Green Monster. He finished the three games going 7-for-15 – which included sparking the Dodgers’ l...
