Young Dodgers outfielder stole headlines with excellent and exuberance.
By TED BERG –
With their 9-0 win over the Dodgers in Game 6 of the NLCS on Friday, the St. Louis Cardinals advanced to the World Series and ended the sensational first season of The Yasiel Puig Show.
The Dodgers’ 22-year-old outfielder first made headlines in March, when his stunning spring training performance led some to suggest he deserved a spot on the club’s opening day roster despite his limited minor league experience. He catapulted from a curiosity to a full-blown phenomenon in June, when he helped spark the team’s turnaround with one of the best debut months in baseball history.
In 104 games in 2013, Puig hit .319 with a .391 on-base percentage and 19 home runs. He is very, very good.
