Los Angeles, California â During a relaxing postseason moment, the Los Angeles Dodgers stars got an unofficial but important lesson â a bowling lesson from Diana Collins, mother of superstar Mookie Betts. The event took place during the celebration of the clubâs ninth World Series championship, and the clubâs second consecutive title after the victory over the Toronto Blue Jays.
A video released by Dodgers Nation quickly went viral, capturing Ms. Collins giving bowling instructions to two players, Jack Dreyer and Andy Pages. Ms. Collinsâ impressive demonstration created a fever on social media.
Extremely Funny Reactions From Fans
The fan community has been sharing and commenting nonstop, many laughing at the incident and making witty comparisons.
One fan jokingly declared: “‘Mommy Mookie’ benched Pages” â referring to the professional coaching that left the young Pages “bowling”.
“Maybe she should teach Andy how to hit too,” suggested another commenter.
Many expressed admiration: “It’s heartwarming that the team still has such a great ‘team mom’!”
Collins’ flexibility was also noted: “Mookie’s mom has an amazing physique. Mookie clearly inherited her athleticism.”
The Professional Bowler Behind the Four-Time World Series Champion
Collins’ expertise in bowling is no coincidence. Diana Collins was an excellent bowler and softball player in her youth.
Four-time World Series Champion Mookie Betts once revealed a unique detail about the origin of his passion: “My mom was bowling the night I was born. My crib was in the bowling alley. Everything around me was connected to bowling from the day I was a day old.”
Betts was not only a baseball star but also a great bowler, a member of the bowling team in high school. It was Mrs. Collins who inspired and motivated Betts to overcome his initial physical limitations to pursue baseball, from Little League to becoming a big name. Mrs. Collins truly laid the solid foundation for her son’s brilliant sports career.
