Mookie Betts is a man of many talents. He's one of the best young outfielders in baseball, he can bowl, and he is looking to expand his horizons and go moose hunting, he tweeted out:
Well, if he's serious, he could always go to Maine. He would be in good company, according to the
Bangor Daily News:
If only there was a state within striking distance of Boston where a guy could… wait a minute, he could come to Maine!
It wouldn’t be the first time a Sox star headed north to take advantage of Maine’s rich hunting or fishing bounties. In 2006, All Star closer Jonathan Papelbon came up on a moose hunt as a guest of the Passamaquoddy tribe, and Hall-0f-Famer Carl Yastrzemski was known to enjoy striper fishing on the Kennebec River.
Avid fisherman and all-time Sox great Ted Williams can be seen in a 1947 photograph celebrating a catch from a fishing trip to Aroostook County.
So Betts would be following in the footsteps of some top Boston baseball players if he made the trek, and he’s already somewhat familiar with Maine due to his time playing for the Red Sox’ Double A team, the Portland Sea Dogs.
Well, as long as he doesn't take out any of my moose relatives - I may or may not have a little moose DNA from the 4 or so years I spent in Maine as a kid - I'll be good with him learning how to hunt moose.
