It’s hard to say what was more of an epic fail – the Dodgers’ performance in a 11-1 thrashing by the\u00a0Athletics\u00a0or Taj Betts’ hilariously sweet first-pitch fail.<\/p>\n

Maybe it was a bad omen that on bobblehead night for the\u00a0Los Angeles Dodgers\u00a0star Swiss Army Knife\u00a0Mookie Betts, his two-year-old son Kaj bolted for right field when it was his time to throw the ceremonial first pitch to his dad.<\/p>\n

The Dodgers’ official social media handles for some reason ignored the adorable catastrophe. Luckily for us, Betts’ wife,\u00a0Brianna, happily shared the shenanigans on her Instagram Stories, resharing videos of it from various fans, along with Dodgers Nations.<\/p>\n
