Red Sox outfielder Mookie Betts was named American League MVP Thursday night, and while he soaked in the moment with his family — including a newborn daughter — many teammates and other athletes took to social media to congratulate him.
The two other AL MVP finalists — Indians third baseman Jose Ramirez and Angels center fielder Mike Trout — were quick to congratulate Betts.
Well deserved, @MookieBetts!! Congrats on a special year and that little baby of yours!! #MVP

Red Sox manager Alex Cora, who finished second in voting for AL Manager of the Year, gave Betts a Twitter shout-out as well.
