You would think they would ALL know by now, but some apparently never will: Do not run on Mookie Betts … EVER. As seemingly happens almost every game, someone tries to take an extra base on the 29-year-old Dodgers right field, who isn’t a six-time All-Star, five-time Gold Glove winner, four-time Silver Slugger, former MLB […]
