Talk about your Renaissance Man. Not only does
Mookie Betts patrol the outfield with the best of them, he can also
hit, and Ten Pin
bowl in elite tournaments. Now we learn that he wants to take up moose hunting. In a recent Tweet,
he made known his desire to bag a Wapiti Cervus Canadensis (Latin for moose—we
think). As Seth Koenig of
The Bangor Daily News points out
there is precedent for Carmine Hosers heading to Maine for recreation. Not surprisingly,
Jonathan Papelbon shot moose there in 2006, and Sox legend
Carl Yastrzemski did a lot of striper fishing there back in the day. It's OK, Maine was
part of the Bay State until 1820 for crying out loud! If there are some
DownEasters who want to take Mookie on the hunt, DM him!
