By Chris FayDecember 1, 2018

Following Game 2 of the World Series, Mookie Betts was asked, "Do you ever get stressed out in a big situation? You always seem so relaxed."

"I found something that helps me to breathe," Betts said with a smile.

"I put things into perspective," Betts added. "I know that no matter how good or bad I do I get the same smiles and hugs from my family."
