Dodgers News: Mookie Betts Swaps Jerseys With Angels Superstar Mike Trout

Two of the best link up!

The Los Angeles Dodgers have won two in a row! After taking down the Angels in both games of their quick two-game series, LA now has a winning streak. It was a much needed two games for the Dodgers amid all their issues, and they shut out the Angels in the process. 

Coming into the series, the Dodgers pitching woes were at an all-time high and while it was just two games, the team has to feel good about themselves. 

After the game ended on Wednesday night, Dodgers superstar Mookie Betts and Angels superstar Mike Trout linked up. The two men were photographed doing a jersey swap in front of home plate.

It was a cool moment for baseball fans as these two men are two of the best players in the game. Doing a jersey swap with someone is a sign of respect and these two players clearly respect one another. 

This isn't the first time that Betts has done one this season as he swapped jerseys with Philadelphia Phillies star outfielder Bryce Harper when the teams played a few weeks ago. Betts has fans around the league and it's showing each time the Dodgers play. 

Around sports, jersey swaps have become a more regular thing. It's common mainly in the NBA and NFL but we have started to see more baseball players doing this as well. It's good for the different sports to show the best players in the game having a mutual respect for each other. 

Hopefully this trend can continue, especially for a league that does have some trouble marketing their star players. Baseball is better off with moments like this being captured and they can easily use it as a marketing ploy to bring in new fans all across the world.
