Baseball fans have a funny way of trying to break slumps for hitters. Dodgers fans are certainly guilty of that. You can think back to when Cody Bellinger had the long hair and couldn’t seem to find a hole in the defense. Fans in Los Angeles were immediately calling for him to shave it off.
But last year, Dodgers fans made another connection to a slump. That was with Mookie Betts right after he talked about being vegan. From there, the jokes and shots at Mookie and his diet have not stopped. And now they’ve carried over to the 2022 season.
