Dodgers Stars Refuse to Stay at Team Hotel in Milwaukee Out of Fears It's Haunted

NEED TO KNOW

• Dodgers star Mookie Betts believes a hotel in downtown Milwaukee is haunted
• Teoscar Hernandez took Betts' cue and did not stay at the Pfister Hotel, where their other teammates stayed
• Other MLB players have shared spooky stories about the hotel

Mookie is not into spooky — and at least one of his teammates feels the same way!

For years, Dodgers star Mookie Betts has refused to stay at the Pfister Hotel — which has long had a reputation for being haunted — when the team plays in Milwaukee.

And with Los Angeles in town to play the Brewers in the NLCS, Teoscar Hernandez is taking a cue from the shortstop and has changed his accommodations as well.

“I don't believe in ghosts," the Dodgers outfielder, 33, told reporters. “I have stayed in there before. I've never seen anything or heard anything.”

He added, “But my wife is on this trip, and she said she doesn't want to stay there. So we have to find another hotel.”

Betts, 33, stayed in an Airbnb instead of the downtown hotel while the Dodgers played the first two games of the series, according to USA Today.

The eight-time All-Star first explained his aversion to the property, which was built in 1893, to The Orange County Register in 2023.

"I couldn't sleep," Betts explained at the time. "Every noise, I'd be like, 'Is that something?' "

Other players in the league have also circulated stories about the quirky hotel, where some doors don’t fully extend to the floor and TVs have been known to go on unexpectedly.

Phillies star Bryce Harper once claimed his clothes moved across the room on their own, while other players have shared tales about hearing footsteps and other ghostly maneuvers.

"It's freaky with the head-shot paintings on the walls and the old curtains everywhere. It reminds me of the Disneyland Haunted House,” Yankees star Giancarlo Stanton once said. “The less time I'm there, the better."

As for Hernandez, he’s playing it safe.

“I've been hearing from other players and other wives that it's something happening in these couple of nights," he said. “The lights, some of the rooms, the lights goes off and on. And the doors, there are noises, footsteps, things like that, I don't know.”

He added, “I'm not the guy that I'm going to be here saying, 'Oh, yeah, I experienced that before' because I'm not. And I don't think I'm going to experience that."

The Dodgers, who are up 2-0 in the series, may not have to return to Milwaukee and contemplate another stay at the hotel, should they win their next two games in Los Angeles.
