On Wednesday, eight-time all-star Mookie Betts posted a video on Instagram as he took time out of his busy schedule to meet hundreds of young fans in Japan. The classy gesture was met with plenty of enthusiasm from the kids, as they got a chance to meet one of their baseball idols. Mookie also helped plenty of them improve their fundamental skills such as swinging the bat and throwing a pitch, while also handing out signed baseballs.
"Had a great time in Japan! All the experiences were a blast but nothing compares to spending time with kids and seeing them have fun enjoying the game we all love!" Betts captioned.

He went on to enjoy the perfect ending to the season, earning his third career World Series winners' ring as the Dodgers won baseball's biggest prize for the eighth time in franchise history.
