Video: Mookie Betts had sweet gesture for his mom after home run

Mookie Betts homered on the Mookie Betts bobblehead night at Dodger Stadium, and he did it with a special audience.

Betts’ mother was sitting in the front row behind home plate for the Dodgers’ game against the Atlanta Braves in Los Angeles. Betts hit a solo home run in the third inning to make it 3-0. After touching home plate, Betts blew his mother a kiss:

What could be better for a parent than that?

That was Betts’ 18th home run of the season. His Dodgers had hit four home runs through the first three innings of the game.
