Covering the Red Sox is
way too easy—the stories about this franchise write themselves. Case in point:
Mookie Betts and
The Great Manhattan Homeless Pizza Give-Away. On Tuesday night, Mookie and fellow rookie
Blake Swihart decided to order pizza for dinner. After all, there is no better thin-crust pizza in the world than what you can get in
Baghdad-By-The-Hudson (with the
possible exception of
Regina's in Boston's North End and
La Hacienda in Somerville). In any event, the rookies must have ordered an
extra-extra-large, because after finishing eating, they had a
lot left over. We'll let Mookie tell the rest:
"Me and Blake ordered pizza last night and we had like almost a whole pizza left. He said, ‘Mook, go give it to a guy you see on the street and you’ll hit two home runs.’ We ended up doing that and I ended up hitting two home runs, so I guess giving pizza to homeless people is good." See? It writes itself.
