Do you believe in ghosts?
Los Angeles Dodgers star right fielder Mookie Betts may not, but regardless, he’s not taking any chances.
Once again, Betts has refused to stay with the team at the Pfister Hotel in Milwaukee, which was built in 1893 and is (allegedly) haunted. Instead, Betts has booked a separate Airbnb as he did last May when the Dodgers made the trip to face the Milwaukee Brewers.
At the time, he said that he didn’t really believe in ghosts but wanted separate accommodations “just in case” the ghost stories were true. He reaffirmed his commitment to never staying at the Pfister again this time around.
“No,” Betts said. “That ain’t going to change.”

Betts has stayed at the hotel in the past, and though he didn’t encounter anything from the great beyond, but he couldn’t sleep out of paranoia.
“Every noise, I’d be like, ‘Is that something?!?” Betts said last year.
He should be much better rested this time around for Los Angeles’ four-game series against the Brewers, which begins on Monday night.
