Boston Red Sox fans got a rarely-seen glimpse of their favorite team Thursday.
The Red Sox were the subject of a daylong ESPN all-access programming that included, among other things, a handful of players mic’d up during Thursday afternoon’s game vs. the Minnesota Twins.
One of the mic’d-up players was outfielder Mookie Betts, who was kind enough to have a conversation with the ESPN broadcast crew during the second inning.
When starting pitcher Brian Johnson couldn’t escape the frame, ESPN stayed with the broadcast, and Betts, during the pitching change. Betts and his outfield mates met in center field where Betts asked Brock Holt and Jackie Bradley Jr. to show off their golf swings. Holt obliged — while enduring some good-natured ribbing from Betts — and instead of showcasing his links look, Bradley instead put his tennis serve technique on display.
Betts also did a little play-by-play, as he was a busy man for pretty much the entire frame.
Go ahead and sign us up for more mic’d-up Mookie.
