While the Los Angeles Dodgers rallied behind Mookie Betts for a universal decision to not play Wednesday night, he told teammates they were free to move ahead with facing the San Francisco Giants if they felt that was in their best interest.
“I talked to these guys and I was fully on board if they played. I’m going to be their brother, be the first one on the steps cheering them on, but in my shoes I couldn’t play,” Betts said as he stood by Dodgers manager Dave Roberts, Clayton Kershaw and Kenley Jansen.
With the Dodgers and Giants making a joint decision to boycott, the postponed game was reschedule for a doubleheader on Thursday.
