Red Sox and Betts fan here. A few years ago a commentator, ARod?, was questioning why Mookie isn't a household name? I agree. I got the impression that Mookie is lowkey and possiably didn't seek hype and branding maybe it was the Sox fault? His new home with LA will be telling. If he becomes the "new face of baseball" LA is the place to do it, if he wants it.
I would add that the Sox are a real "hometown" team being on the Dodgers may have a more national appeal. Just some thoughts
I'm glad I have my Betts rookies and happy with the price I paid!
