Los Angeles Dodgers player Mookie Betts was seen enjoying his time by showing some moves at the Annual Thanksgiving Giveaway and distributing turkeys at the event, which was organized by the LA Dodgers Foundation.
Betts was asked about how much pride he has representing the Dodgers in a Thanksgiving event like this and how much the community means to the team. He said:
“You know the Dodgers have done a lot of great things. Really in general, but especially for me. You know, being here representing the Dodgers, That’s what I am with. That’s my home. You know, being able to give back in my home is very special. I thank the Dodgers for helping me put this thing on with brother Crusade as well. It has been a successful event.”

In 2014, Mookie Betts made his Red Sox debut in center field, moving to right field in 2016. Dustin Pedroia has drawn comparisons to Betts. Pedroia is a former Red Sox teammate, is a relatively short-term natural second baseman with a high contact rate and a high level of production when pulling the ball.
