Mookie Betts

It's an honor and a blessing to be part of 'R.B.I. Baseball.'

I have no idea what it is about bowling. It's just a love I have for it. I can't even explain why. Bowling is just fun for me.

I love Boston.

Some people kind of get lost in what everyone else is doing and not pay attention to themselves, and I think I'm one where I pay attention to myself and can set the example for the people coming up.

I like leading by example.

I'm confident in my abilities and confident to know what kind of player I am. I've also been educated on the business side of it, getting your value.

Even though this is a business you do have people here that you're with every day, like your family. You want to go play for them and you want to win with them. You have to find a way to do that but understand that there is a business side to it. You have to find a way to understand.

Just because you go to free agency doesn't mean you don't want to be somewhere. It's just a part of the business.

I've been blessed with everything I have, and I might as well share it.

I think people don't enjoy it as much as they used to. People say, 'Make baseball fun again.' Well, I'm trying.

When you're down, are you going to be mentally down and make it last longer, or are you going to stay positive, keep an even keel?

I'm going to be someone who smiles and brings joy to the locker room and to the field.
