Looking excellent as always, Betts explained that while he lives in Nashville, Knoxville is where his heart was back when he was deciding where to go to college -- he had committed to the University of Tennessee to play baseball and basketball. Of course, the Red Sox got in the way and drafted him in the fifth round in the 2011 Draft out of high school and the rest is history.
Sure, it's a minor shame that we never got to experience the probable wizardry of Point Guard Mookie, but we can't say we blame him for picking baseball full time.
