Mookie Betts is back on top of the home run leaderboards. Not only did his latest blast give him his major league-leading 12th homer of the season, it also cemented his status in the Boston Red Sox record books.
The star right fielder now has 90 career home runs on his resume, 69 of which have come from the leadoff spot in the order. That ties Dom DiMaggio for the most home runs in Red Sox history as a leadoff hitter.
DiMaggio spent all 11 seasons of his career with the Red Sox, primarily as a leadoff hitter.
