Mookie Betts’ champagne shower was interrupted by a shocking discovery.
The Red Sox right fielder realized while being doused in bubbly during Boston’s division-clinching celebration Thursday night that congratulatory text messages probably were out of the question.
“You know what sucks — is my phone is in my pocket,” Betts told reporters in New York while squinting to keep the booze from his eyes.
The Red Sox defeated the Yankees 11-6 in the teams’ series finale at Yankee Stadium to secure their third straight American League East title. Betts played a huge role in Boston’s victory, too, going 4-for-5 with a home run and five RBIs.
Anyone trying to contact Betts might have a hard time, though. Let’s hope he gets his cellular situation squared away soon enough. After all, he’s a popular guy.
