Giuseppe Mancuso made good with a bet he made with Mookie Betts back on Aug. 2, when he told the Dodgers star that he would name his soon-to-be born daughter after him if he homered in that at bat.
By Dean FioresiThe Dodgers have earned a new lifelong fan — all thanks to none other than star player Mookie Betts.
Giuuseppe Mancuso, a longtime fan of the Boys in Blue, was sitting behind the on deck circle back on August 2 while the Oakland Athletics were in town when he propositioned Betts with a unique deal. He told the seven-time All-Star that if he homered in that at bat, he would name his soon-to-be born daughter after the outfielder, giving her the middle name"Mookie.""I heard this and I laughed, and he said he was serious," Betts said."I turned around and told him, 'No, don't do that bro. Don't do that.'"
