Mookie Betts Fights Through A Painful Stomach Bug To Propel Dodgers Toward Championship Contention Again

Mookie Betts makes baseball look effortless. The three-time World Series victor and 2018 AL MVP is gearing up for another chance at the World Series, as his LA Dodgers prepare to face the Milwaukee Brewers in the National League Championship Series, starting Monday night at 8:08 p.m. Even non-baseball aficionados appreciate Betts, a dynamic 5-foot-10, 180-pound player. Although he had a challenging season, batting a career-low .258 and missing the All-Star team for only the second time in nine years, his impressive transformation from a Gold Glove outfielder to an elite shortstop leading in Defensive Runs Saved is notable. However, Betts faced a significant setback with a mysterious stomach illness, believed to be Norovirus, resulting in severe weight loss and vomiting for two weeks. Despite this pandemic-related adversity, he aims to recover quickly and contribute to his team's success.
