Plenty of people want to dress like Mookie Betts.
The Boston Red Sox right fielder’s jersey was the seventh-most popular among all Major League Baseball players during the 2019 regular season, MLB and the MLB Players Association announced last Friday, citing sales from MLBshop.com.
Betts was the only Red Sox player whose jersey cracked the top 20 on MLB’s “most popular” list this season.
