3. And I love you too mookie

4. We love you!

5. And we love you and your wife and kids. Thanks for what you 2 doing.

6. Mookie embodies a great professional athlete. He had a pretty poor performing chunk of the season, but he stuck to it, and kept his focus. Never once did I see him being childish like Machado. He clearly loves the game. I also appreciate how joyful he is. He’s got fantastic energy. We are lucky to have him

7. Now *there’s* context.

8. Be Nasty Mook!

   I frakkin love Mookie 

9. It’s so hard to not like this fellow. He’s a real one. Love ya, Mookie!

10. Mookie!

    

11. Who wouldn’t love it here lol. There’s a reason housing prices are so expensive here; it’s desirable.

    Rich, wealthy and famous? No better place to be than socal

12. 3 rings in LA. You got this, champ.

13. Maaaan even this message by Mookie popped out to shallow center field to end the inning.. HAHA just kidding Mook, do your thing my friend

14. Mookie 🐐

15. Laughable to me that some people still — STILL — think he’s going into the hall in a blank cap.

16. You’d be surprised by the amount of people that think Mookie doesn’t really want to be in LA, that he only signed an extension because of the pandemic and regrets it in the back of his mind.

    I wish he was less hard on himself when things aren’t clicking, but imo it’s clear he loves being here and just wants to prove to himself that he’s still one of the best in the game.

17. we love you too 😍

18. LA loves Mookie.

19. My liege

20. Freddie might go into the half in a Braves or a blank cap, but Mookie definitely going in Blue. What a all time fumble by the Red Sox

21. Mookie Betts arrival in the city coincided with the start of our dynasty. He’s the heart and soul of LA.

22. Mook! Mook! Mook! 👏

23. Next season will mark Betts 7th season with the Dodgers which means he’ll play more seasons with the Dodgers than he did with the Red Sox starting in 2026.
