    I was once at baseball camp in SF and Puig was shooting a commercial near by while the Dodgers where in town. In the middle of the day he came over and hopped into a game in the older group and began playing third base. It was so cool to see a MLB player do that and it made all of our days, especially the kids whose game he joined. I hope he gets another chance in the MLB because there really is no one like him.

      I didn’t like him when he played for the Dodgers. But he grew on me. Then when he played for the Indians he’s was one of my favorite players. He could’ve been a guy that helped sell baseball as entertaining. They seem to love being boring nowadays, even though many past players had some crazy personalities.

    I just saw him play in Korea. No doubt he is an amazing player still, and it seems to me he is becoming more wholesome I want to say. He is listening to his coaches, flipping balls up to kids no matter if its home or away, and in the 4 games i saw him, there was not one time where he beefed with anyone. He was making jokes with his teammates and making big plays. He seems to have gotten better mentally.

    I’m a lifelong Dodgers fan and had the privilege of meeting Puig, Adrian Gonzalez, and Kershaw during spring training. Puig and Gonzalez were some of the nicest people I ever met. They took pictures and signed my grandfathers hat. Kershaw, not so much. I was also there when he dyed his hair during the World Series twice because he felt the original color was bad luck. Each interaction I had with him was positive and I wish things would have turned out differently for him. I wish him the best!

    If you watched puig come into the league and take it by storm and you happen to be of Hispanic or Latin heritage you know the impact he had will never be forgotten. Dudes were haters that someone who went against the grain and played by his own rules got so much attention. He was a unit with ease and was also a great person with a big heart and lots of issues you tell me how many people would have made it through all that to come out the other side as successful as he did. I’m sure it’s all been a very humbling experience for him but there’s a reason he’ll be the only Dodger player ever whose jersey I own and supported.

Could he have worked harder? Absolutely. Could he have been a better teammate? Definitely. But this man is the perfect example of misunderstood;despite having enormous problems behind the scenes, he still managed to be one of the best ball players the Dodgers had in the past decade. I remember seeing him hitting a home run in the World Series…ONE HANDED. I remember seeing him hit an inside the park home run… TO WALK OFF AND WIN. Who knows what he could have been, but what he was was still absolutely astounding and exciting to watch.

    Puig reminds me of a kid (maybe me back in my youth) who spends his days playing every single chance he can on a vacant lot somewhere with cut out pieces of cardboard or carpet remnants for bases. There are always going to be haters but I find his youthful exuberance for the game to be refreshing. I remember when I "got to play" baseball everyday...pretty sure I did a cartwheel rounding the bases once. I seem to recall the exalted Ozzie Smith cartwheeling off the field after turning amazing double or triple plays. No one complained about him.

    • @MichaelMiller-tm2os
      @MichaelMiller-tm2os 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      When I was a kid growing up, I had a group of about 10 friends, and I was one of the youngest. We would play baseball all day every day all summer long. Since it was five on five, we had some modified rules and a modified field, but that field taught me to hit line drives up the middle and to the gaps. (Basically, instead of a 90 degree angle at the plate, it was about a 45 degree angle.) One of the older guys we played with was drafted by the Blue Jays and played with their minor league system for awhile before going back to college, winning the Heisman, and playing in the NFL.
      I feel bad that kids don't do that anymore.
