Boston Red Sox outfielder Mookie Betts was actually being interviewed by ESPN while on the field against the Chicago Cubs on Tuesday. It’s rare to see something of this ilk.
It can also lead to a classic moment, as we all saw go down Tuesday in Florida. Here, you will see Betts attempt to get to a ball over his head while he’s being interviewed.
His response to those in the booth? “I ain’t getting this one, boys.”

That’s just all sorts of awesome right there. No word yet on whether Betts having a conversation while playing limited his ability to go all superhuman to catch the ball.
