2019 Year in Review: Yasiel Puig

I’ve been in Irvine (Orange County, about an hour or so south of Los Angeles) since 2011, so I’ve naturally been surrounded by fans of the Angels and Dodgers. Of course everyone wants Mike Trout on their team, but there have been several other players between both teams that I’ve envied in the past eight years. One of the most divisive was Yasiel Puig. Puig fought to get to America and found himself with the Los Angeles Dodgers. He’s had ups and downs over the years, but he took the league by storm in 2013 and 2014 with his explosive bat, his cannon arm, and his bombastic personality.
