Never underestimate good karma.
Red Sox youngsters Mookie Betts and Blake Swihart ordered pizza Tuesday night in New York after Swihart belted two home runs in a win over the Yankees.

Betts, understandably envious of his teammate’s big night, asked Swihart what he needed to do to match the feat and got an interesting suggestion.
“We had almost a whole pizza left. He said, ‘Mook, go give it to a guy you see on the street and you’ll hit two home runs,’ ” Betts told NESN.
Swihart was right; Betts bashed two home runs Wednesday in a 9-5 extra-inning win over the Yankees.
“I guess, giving pizza to homeless people is good,” Betts said.
