Boston Red Sox outfielder Mookie Betts has a bright baseball future ahead of him. The 23-year-old broke out last season, slashing .291/.341/.479 while playing a strong center field. Betts even managed to pick up two down ballot MVP votes for his efforts.

The point is, Mookie Betts is already pretty good at his job. And if he's able to progress like most players, he might even challenge for an MVP award one day. We can't wait to see how he performs moving forward.

That said, if Betts ever got tired of being excellent at baseball, he could still make it as a professional athlete. Betts participated in the World Series of Bowling this offseason, where he put up some impressive numbers.

For most athletes, that would be a big enough accomplishment. Merely being good enough to be considered a professional in two sports is a high honor. Betts isn't just "good enough" at bowling, though, he's pretty exceptional.

That's the final frame of Betts bowling a perfect game. That's one heck of an accomplishment.

Or ... at least, it would be for a mere mortal. You see, none of this is new to Betts. This is actually the second time he's bowled a perfect game. The first came two weeks ago!

Please keep doing baseball for now, Mookie Betts. But if you ever get bored at being too good at that, you have a nice fall back in bowling.

Actually, you're probably too good at bowling. Have you considered taking up fencing yet? That might be a challenge.
