Yasiel Puig will go down with a complicated legacy in baseball history - however, we would never have talked about him at all without him having the best first week of a career in the history of MLB...

Such a fun time. It's a shame he couldn't keep it together in the clubhouse and off the field. Dude had all the talent to be one of the best players in the game.

[@Jason-gg4lm]

Nah

[@ricardobjj24]

Puig was one of my favorite players. The home run he hit in game 4 of the world series vs the Red Sox was insane

[@TheGameCube64Guy]

An absolute damn shame what happened to the Dodgers in that game after Puig hit that home run.

[@gregcub3d]

it wasn't his fault he was in the game leading up to that collapse... but fuckin ryan madson. thanks, dave.

[@justinmasse4619]

Red soxs still have that ring to show for it

[@carlpacquing2575]

The arm on Yasiel Puig was legendary. An automatic stop sign for most baserunners!

[@footballdestroyer]

Just listening to Vin Scully make those calls brings me back! Dude is the GOAT

[@DaVictonator]

Puig is electric even with his embarrassing moments

[@mattd3245]

I had Matt Kemp, Andre Ethier, and Clayton Kershaw to start my Dodgers fandom. But Puig took it to another level when he arrived.

[@samwebster2441]

He hit a walk off bomb against the reds and slid into home and that was incredible.

[@treefiddy209]

The energy he brought was different. Puig was the literal definition of a spark plug, wish he got his ring in '17

[@bmossy111]

He should be proud! I went to tons of Dodger games during his tenure, and there was always hype in the crowd whenever he came to the plate or a ball was hit his way. It wasn’t always pretty, but he delivered some iconic plays. Fans knew that when he was on the field there was potential for them to see something they had never seen before.

[@MikeyB540]

What a time to be alive this was

[@Rzerhawk]

That 2013 top 100 list is wild to look at 11 years later

[@rob697769]

When he was in AA here in Chattanooga, I believe he got a speeding ticket on amnicola highway going like 110 in a 55. Might have been the first sign of his decision making ability.

[@FranciscoRodriguez-ly9so]

I might be wrong but wasn’t his mom in the car with him?

[@jackcone228]

Go cry

[@hubbhub6225]

the first week of puig is when i gained conscious of my life and developed memories. Favorite player ever.

[@Alejandrothebaseballguy16]

Bro I loved Puig as a kid he hit his first home run on my birthday 🎉

[@averagepufferfish5612]

So basically Puig was the Elly De La Cruz before Elly De La Cruz.

[@fazedollarstore7685]

yes but good

[@JoeRogansForehead]

Not really as fast

[@TKainZero]

There was a 2 month period where puig was the 2nd best player in the mlb behind trout.

[@hexginnkgo]

I think it also says a lot that at the end we see Rachel Luba next to him signing a contract of some sort. She can't seem to find the right guys to sign.

[@joshuablanco5312]

This was the first time I started to love the game in 2013 and when I saw him throw out Chris Denorfia at first base to end his debut I was going insane and then the grand slam against Atlanta it was mesmerizing

[@omarr853]

Puig is the reason Acuña, Soto, Chisholm, Tatis, etc get to act the way they act.

[@mpaulm]

The only game I’ve been to was at Dodger Stadium in 2014 and Puig hit a home run. The place went nuts!!🎉

[@user-rg1om9ef4b]

One of the most if not the most entertaining player I ever watched growing up

[@thegoodfella2045]

I MISS GAMES ON CHANNEL 9

[@Sharethebackline]

I was there for the 2nd game. I was all in after the homerun. You can see me with my hands up because I was in the section to the left of the homerun!

[@wwfchriswwf]

White jersey with the open front? Nice

[@AndrewDeStJean]

Do Trevor story his rookie year before injury

[@filmonthemind]

Im genuinely convinced if Puig got his act together he would’ve been a forever Dodger

[@stevekacz7361]

Intentional walk in your 5th mlb game is crazy

[@cravenharp5318]

WOW WHAT A WEEK

[@JoeRogansForehead]

Intentional walk before you ever get actually walked is insane

[@NicoGuzmanEscobar]

Bro just had a super crazy entrance into the MLB, if I’m not mistaken, he was one of those Cuban players I got to America on a raft, right?

[@KrispyChurro]

Random Drake and Josh show theme song background music 😂😂

[@EvSop93]

I was about to comment this

[@kyleOWillFixIt]

Puig is still the best player in baseball... In Venezuela...

[@andrewdevore4799]

6:36 Bartolo 💀

[@terrance315]

Favorite player all time

[@chrismorris6865]

I remember that week well. I was in San Francisco, ironically.

[@michaelcornwall]

I remember going school shopping and my outfitb for the first day of the year was a Yasiel puig jersey shirt. I'm a Cardinals fan and grew up in die-hard Redbirds territory, I got so much shit. Some one even said I only liked him because he was cocky like me 😂

[@face3140]

He started his career 16 for 32 .500 average to start his career

[@GulsCult]

I don't remember the week in baseball. I drank for three or four days, and was hungover the rest of the time he was a legend.

[@BetonRichie]

He was ahead of the time, love the wild horse

[@mre257]

That week was so good for him that I was copying his swing by Wednesday after he debuted on Monday

[@geezushasrisen]

God, I miss Puig. Love that dude.

[@JoeRogansForehead]

His rookie cards used to be insane money

[@corywilson2007]

It's obvious that he was starting out so hot because he was wearing not one but two magic wrist bands!

[@JoeRogansForehead]

NOT PABLO SANCHEZ 😭😭😭 I killed that game on my pc with him .

[@prestonandcats9745]

i miss my friend puig

[@evolancer211]

Didn't even realize Puig was out of the MLB lol

[@rezam8128]

Please talk about Trevor story

[@RorryTrouble22]

You need to do a legit video on the most unrecognized baseball player of all time Yogi

[@2faded4it]

INTENTIONALLY WALKED ON HIS 5th GAME

[@angelsaenz8556]

WILD HORSE 🐎🐎🐎

[@silentsnake214]

How do you get footage of all these games?

[@thegoodfella2045]

The diddy files

[@maxlyons220]

You gotta do this with Aquino

[@Soulmodulation]

If you don't enjoy watching Puig, you don't enjoy Baseball.

[@prettygal213]

He still a very good baseball player. He could have been an awesome baseball player but his issues. Miss him as a Dodger.

[@Pemexdoom]

Lorenzo Bundy watching him hit in the cage.

[@jimc.goodfellas226]

Yeah thats how long it was- about a week

[@asher1kenobi]

Aquino is quite like this

[@GeeEm1313]

Thirteen times?? Cuba must suck more than we know.

[@jamesweldon8118]

The Jeremy Lin of the MLB

[@jeffrey.a.hanson]

Lmk when he’s older than Freddie Freeman.

[@HandlesAreStupid167]

He was crazy, but I think he lost his spot on any MLB roster too quickly

[@Flyerman777]

The week hahaha but yeah so true

[@JoeRogansForehead]

Why is he playing in Korea? He must still have money

[@TOm-hr2mb]

I doubt Puig used his real age.

[@DarkChaosGaming]

Another client of Chalupa that can't get a job?

[@ripharambe4796]

👅

[@BearIslandComics]

I’m not sure being accused of sexual assault is a “personal demon”, but okay 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@andrewmartin37]

Great player! But the other side of the coin....anybody can be great for a week.

[@Zeb75]

Too bad he will win zip.
