Mookie Betts Playing In The World Series Of Bowling Is Weird As Hell

 

 

 

 

I don’t think the fact that Mookie Betts is one of the best bowlers in the world is getting nearly enough spin around here. WHY is he good at bowling? Who even bowls? That shit is for divorced dads and people who would vacation in Reno, it’s not for 23 year old superstars. But for some reason I feel like everyone just shrugs it off and says, “Oh yeah, Mookie’s a good bowler. He loves it. I remember hearing something about that.” He’s not a good bowler, he’s one of the best alive. He’s in the fucking World Series of it. He was the two time bowler of the year in Tennessee in high school. That’s weird and it’s weirder that people don’t seem to think it is. I knew a kind in high school that bowled and I’m pretty sure he’s a rapist or a gas station attendant now, probably both. It’s a sport that you have to have a screw loose to get into, especially at a young age, and I’ll be honest: little concerned about it with Mookie. Now I’m not going to go so far as to say trade him or anything nuts, but it’s one of those things that can give you pause, like Devin McCourty sharing a twitter account with his brother or Aaron Hernandez always killing people. Just a character trait to keep an eye on.
