Prompted by a comment from his wife, Betts has started planning for a life after baseball, but on the field he says his priority remains clear – “You play the game to win.”
Mookie Betts is surrounded by positive affirmation.
“I don’t know what’s going through his head,” Freeman says. “Last year, it was during his May when he was on fire. We were in the cage and he was, ‘Oh, I’ve lost it.’ I was, ‘Wait a second, you hit a home run, like, five straight games.’ I don’t know why but sometimes you have to remind him that he’s Mookie Betts, an MVP and one of the best players in this game.”
“I feel like I’ve been so up and down, man,” he says. “The downs are the times that I really remember. But also, I don’t really think about things in those terms. I think about what I need to do to get back to helping the team win. “I’ve kind of done a lot of things I set out to do – which is win MVP, win the World Series, win some awards and whatnot,” he says. “So now you play the game to win.”
“You don’t play this game your whole life. So it’d be crazy for me not to think about what’s going on. It’d be a mistake. Yeah, doing a podcast, being a dad, being a husband – yeah, that’s going to take some time away. If I want to do what I say, which is be around, become a billionaire one day, be in business – I’ve got to do those things. And all the people that are doing those things are my age.
