$365,000,000 man Mookie Betts says wife's low expectations led him to participate in Home Derby

In the 2023 Home Run Derby, Mookie Betts, a two-time World Series champion and 2018 MVP, was unquestionably the most well-known and accomplished player. He only wanted to add a new stamp to his baseball passport. He wasn't seeking approval from a novelty home run competition.

Betts claimed that the low bar set by his wife for the Home Derby encouraged participation:

“No, that’s not what she was saying. She just thought I should check it off the bucket list. She wants to watch it, but I don’t think she’s expecting much of me, which is cool.”

Betts finished last in his debut derby performance. He hit the fewest home runs in the derby with only 11 hits. Perhaps Betts' prediction before the game sealed his fate.

The way the players get into the spirit on this fantastic baseball celebration is one of its best features. The Home Run Derby is a pointless exhibition in the end. Even though the derby isn't as "real" as a real game, that moment and the midsummer jubilation that permeated the stadium the entire night were entirely natural.
