LOS ANGELES -- Throughout his Dodgers career, Yasiel Puig has enjoyed a special connection with children, and he brought some joy to special kids on Thursday.
Puig had his head shaved in a show of solidarity and support for pediatric cancer patients and their families who journeyed from Cedars-Sinai Hospital to Dodger Stadium for Puig's Pizza and Shave Party, part of the week-long Dodgers Love L.A. Community Tour.
Helping with the shaving were the patients, some having lost their hair from treatments for their cancer.
Puig took selfies of each young barber wielding the shaver, mugging for his phone, often wagging his tongue as he did on the field last year.
