GAME. BLOUSES.
After hitting a two-run home run at the top of the second inning of Tuesday night’s game against the Cleveland Indians, Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Yasiel Puig gave fans at Cleveland’s Progressive Field a special hand gesture as he made his way around the bags and to the Dodgers’ dugout.
The long ball was sent into right-center field, giving Los Angeles a 2-0 lead, and then Puig threw up the double middle finger on his way to celebrating with his teammates. It has yet to become clear who the gesture was intended for.
This has been a quiet season for Puig, who was sent down to the minors last season after the club unsuccessfully moved him at the trade deadline. This season, the Cuban native has hit .239 with 33 RBIs and 10 HRs, including Tuesday night’s two-run dinger.
