During a bobblehead night at Dodger Stadium, 2-year-old Kaj Betts, son of Dodgers outfielder Mookie Betts, captured fans' hearts by sprinting away with the baseball intended for his ceremonial first pitch. Despite his adorable antics, he managed to deliver a pitch to his father. The event was a lighthearted moment on a tough night for the Dodgers, who lost to the Athletics 11-1, with Mookie Betts going 0 for 3 but contributing a run to the scoreboard.
Wearing a replica of his father's No. 50 jersey, Kaj had the ball in hand while walking near the third base line and home plate.
Kaj took off in a full toddler sprint, with a look of determination on his face as he ran as fast as his little legs could carry him.
The adventure-seeking tyke immediately turned and took a step toward the outfield before his pops quickly gathered him for some photos.
The adorable antics were probably the most entertaining aspect of the night for L.A. fans, who then had to watch their team get clobbered by the Athletics 11-1.
