Later, he drilled his first home run in Dodger blue.

As if Sox fans needed more reasons to miss the 2018 American League MVP and World Series champion.

Betts signed a 12-year contract extension worth nearly $400 million with the Dodgers on July 22. It's safe to say there will be plenty more highlight-reel plays like the ones above over the course of his career in L.A.
