The Dodgers’ Yasiel Puig circled the bases after hitting his 10th homer of the season in Cleveland on Tuesday night, then gestured to a group of Indians fans that they were No. 1. Only he didn’t use his index fingers.
Apparently, Puig didn’t appreciate the Indians fans who didn’t appreciate his homer, which put the Dodgers ahead 2-0 in a game they would win 7-5.

Asked about the incident after the game, Puig didn’t deny a thing when asked about the incident. From the Los Angeles Times (via Puig’s translator):
“People were talking to me before the home run, and after the home run, they kept talking,” Puig said.
