MILWAUKEE —
Mookie Betts — or, as he’s known around these parts, “Spooky” Betts — returned to the Dodgers’ lineup for the opener of a four-game series against the Milwaukee Brewers on Monday night, refusing to stay with the team at the supposedly haunted Pfister Hotel for the second straight season.
Whether ghosts actually exist in the historic 131-year-old downtown hotel filled with grand marble staircases and gold-leaf frames is open to debate, but Betts wasn’t about to take a chance that they do.
“You don’t want to mess with them,” Betts said.
