A Boston Red Sox player playing against the New York Yankees in the Bronx has to put up with some nasty verbal abuse from the fans. When a chance for payback comes, it must be hard to take the high road.
Red Sox left fielder Mookie Betts had the perfect opportunity to make a Yankees fan suffer on Monday night, but he chose kindness instead.
In the bottom of the second inning, Giancarlo Stanton skied a fly ball down the line that took Betts to the side wall in pursuit. The ball was just out of Betts’s reach, and it knocked a fans cell phone onto the dirt warning track.
