Mookie Betts Skips Haunted Hotel Stay Again During Dodgers Series in Milwaukee

Los Angeles Dodgers star Mookie Betts has returned to the team's lineup after recovering from a fractured left hand, but he has opted out of staying at the Pfister Hotel in Milwaukee once more. Betts, an eight-time MLB All-Star and 2018 American League MVP, has expressed concerns about the hotel’s rumored hauntings, leading him to seek alternative accommodations during the Dodgers' four-game series against the Milwaukee Brewers. The Pfister Hotel, established in 1893, has a long-standing reputation for being haunted, with various reports of eerie experiences from past guests, including players from other teams. Betts previously stayed at the hotel but found it difficult to sleep due to a persistent feeling of being spooked, despite not encountering any paranormal activity directly. This year, he has chosen a short-term rental instead of the hotel, continuing his avoidance of the location. Betts' return to the field marks a significant moment for the Dodgers, as he transitions back to the outfield after spending much of the past two months sidelined due to injury. He expressed confidence in his abilities, stating, "It’s not like I’ve been years away from it. It hasn’t even been a year. I’ve still got it in me." As the Dodgers face the Brewers, Betts aims to contribute significantly to the team's performance.
