Red Sox star delivered food to homeless after World Series Game 2 win
BOSTON (CBS) – Red Sox star Mookie Betts has received plenty of praise for his play on the field this season. But his action off the field is what’s gaining notoriety this time.
Mike Winter, a VIP host for clubs in the city, said he was coming out of a bar at about 1:45 a.m. Thursday, hours after the Red Sox earned a win over the Dodgers in Game 2 of the World Series. Winter saw two men in hooded sweatshirts who had a shopping cart with trays of food they were handing out to homeless people outside Boston Public Library.
It turns out the Good Samaritans were Betts and another man. Winter said the act of kindness was done without fanfare – no cameras were in the area, and Betts walked off into the night once people began leaving the nearby club.
“It’s funny because none of the homeless guys knew who he was,” Winter said. “He deserves the credit. Most people do it because it’s fake and they want to just put it on Instagram, whatever else. When it’s a genuine gift, he wasn’t looking for a pat on the back. He was in a hoodie just looking like someone from the Pine Street Inn (shelter) dropping off food.”
“The guy is just an MVP off and on the field,” said Avedissian. “He’s unbelievable. He doesn’t want the praise. I’m sure he’s probably going to be upset hearing all this stuff going around now. He really didn’t want to be in the spotlight.”
