Athletes are always in the spotlight for bad things off of the field, but two instances over the last week didn't get a lot of national media coverage but were pretty cool stories.
After a Red Sox World Series win last week, Mookie Betts, one of the best players in baseball, was spotted delivering food to homeless outside of the public library at 1 am. The wives of Red Sox players have volunteered a lot at the food pantry, so Betts had some ties to it. Betts, along with his cousin, grabbed food from there and delivered it to homeless, after a World Series game, at 1 am! On top of that, both he and his cousin were wearing hoodies (with the hoods up) so Betts wouldn't be as recognizable while doing it.
A friend of mine was teammates with Betts in high school baseball, played against him in college, and said he has always been a great guy.
Then, today, a group of Giants players did something cool. One of them, a former player I coached at Cookman, posted a picture dressed up in a Halloween costume with a bunch of other guys dressed up. They all dressed up as superheroes and went to a children's hospital on their off day during the season. Getting a bunch of Giants players to come visit would be cool as a kid, but having them dress up would be amazing.
