I was once at baseball camp in SF and Puig was shooting a commercial near by while the Dodgers where in town. In the middle of the day he came over and hopped into a game in the older group and began playing third base. It was so cool to see a MLB player do that and it made all of our days, especially the kids whose game he joined. I hope he gets another chance in the MLB because there really is no one like him.
I didn’t like him when he played for the Dodgers. But he grew on me. Then when he played for the Indians he’s was one of my favorite players.

I just saw him play in Korea. No doubt he is an amazing player still, and it seems to me he is becoming more wholesome I want to say. He is listening to his coaches, flipping balls up to kids no matter if its home or away, and in the 4 games i saw him, there was not one time where he beefed with anyone. He was making jokes with his teammates and making big plays. He seems to have gotten better mentally.
I’m a lifelong Dodgers fan and had the privilege of meeting Puig, Adrian Gonzalez, and Kershaw during spring training. Puig and Gonzalez were some of the nicest people I ever met. They took pictures and signed my grandfathers hat. Kershaw, not so much. I was also there when he dyed his hair during the World Series twice because he felt the original color was bad luck.

Puig is the definition of someone with built up personal struggles. The sports world doesn’t understand anxiety and impulsiveness. I hope he gets the help he needs to deal with some of these personal demons so he can maybe have a season or two in the MLB again
He has sexually assaulted multiple women, and apparently snitched out a teammate to the communists government of Cuba. Struggles or not, the guy is a scumbag.
@@jeremyfowler1519The world is indifferent. Find a way to deal and stop expecting everyone else to help you. No one cares. They have their own shit to deal with.
It really makes sense why he was the way he was when you hear his whole story. When you go through as much as he did the last thing you care about is playing the game with the unwritten rules and will show all the flare in the world.
"Reports say that one or his teammates threw his luggage into traffic..." Me who has just watched the Zack Greinke video: "Hey, I've seen this one, it's a classic."
Dude I just wanna say you put out some of the most watchable baseball content I've ever come across. You do so well to cover your topic thoroughly while injecting a sense of storytelling and it all just comes together as downright compelling. Keep up the great work!
I'm a Puig fan. I remember going to Dodger Stadium when he was first starting out there. Thousands of kids would say his name loudly. He took extra time to take pictures with them and sign autographs when his teammates skipped the fans and ran into the dugout.
I’m an ex Rancho Cucamonga Pitcher at that time in 2012. I’m in the clips of him in Rancho. It was unbelievable to think he went through that and a week later he was playing A ball.. One of the RAWEST talents I’ve ever seen in my life!! Hope he’s doing well 💯🙏🏼
If you watched puig come into the league and take it by storm and you happen to be of Hispanic or Latin heritage you know the impact he had will never be forgotten. Dudes were haters that someone who went against the grain and played by his own rules got so much attention. He was a unit with ease and was also a great person with a big heart and lots of issues you tell me how many people would have made it through all that to come out the other side as successful as he did. I’m sure it’s all been a very humbling experience for him but there’s a reason he’ll be the only Dodger player ever whose jersey I own and supported.
I remember pitching against him in 2010 when he was still playing for the Cuban national team. In real life he looks more like a horse than a real person. He is absolutely massive. He grounded out to second on a curveball. To this day it’s the most memorable at bat I ever pitched.
@@NewMozart You can call him a horse, don't listen to that guy. Also that is awesome, you have one of the best stories around to tell anyone who will listen.
Probably just standard dealings to be honest, they knew he was worth big CA$$$$H just needed a smuggling ring to transport him, i guarantee the smuggling ring that transported him in paid of the previous smugglerslike 20-30-40K and then they got possession of Puig. Unguarded escaped without incident from hotel is super suspicious
@@abtwopoint0 no way, if you're going to hit a guy than do it right away. Don't wait until the point where you're either going to walk him or have to throw him something in the zone, especially when Puig already knew he was getting hit and was just waiting for Strope to nut up and do it.. He was probably scared to hit him on the first pitch of the AB so he stalled for 3 pitches. Also, what are you talking about "very common"? The beanball? am inside pitch? And are you saying it's a common 3-0 pitch in general or just when the pitcher wants to hit the batter? Either way, that pitch is definitely not "very common" when the count is 3-0, idk what you're talking about.
Puig was the most exciting player in baseball in that rookie season especially, but from most games that I can remember.. He would have some kind of crazy throw from an impossible position, or a crazy slide, or an game ending catch, or whatever.. The wild horse was magical.
13 minutes in, and I feel like I am watching a 60 minutes documentary. Jesus. Puig has lived a WILD life. How in the WORLD is he playing ball in Mexico and not at least Independent Ball in America. Also my Royals could use him as a DH right now... if those allegations are not true of course.
It’s clear what he needed was/is a therapist. Man was traumatized to shit from all those nightmares he had to live though. All his bizarre behavior makes perfect sense now.
I have loved puig for years I even wear number 66 I know tucker barnharts dad and he said that tucker said he is the best teammate he has ever had he’s lived a difficult life and I feel sorry for him he played with great entertainment value and I wish he still had an mlb team
he can earn up to 120k in Mexico, he could only earn up to 30-40k in most independent leagues. not to mention the talent level is higher. pretty obvious decision

This is the best baseball channel on youtube by far in my opinion. The research is incredible. The stories told are incredibly entertaining and the voiceover is amazing. Thank you for your hard work.
I remember being at Dodger Stadium several times sitting in the left field pavilion. It was an energetic atmosphere whenever he came up to the plate. I saw a couple of homers and that was awesome to witness live!
I'm not sure why Puig didn't just pay off the smugglers on the day that first Dodgers check cleared in his bank account. If this impeccably-curated documentary addressed that, I guess I missed it while processing the cyclone of events comprising this man's existence. Excellent storytelling on a complex and endlessly fascinating topic by the crew here.
Dude you guys are making it seem like this guy isn't a f****** clown. Everything that he's done in his life is self-imposed. He refused to pay the people who got him his freedom even though they verbally agreed, so now we have to feel bad that people are trying to hurt him even though he agreed to pay them, he showed up over weight none of his teammates his own teammates liked him, he never even attempted to get better by listening to his coaches or I don't know trying to learn how to play defense, dude everything he did was by his own admission. Like he did this to himself. There wasn't mental issues he's an immature baby who got more than he deserved in life he wrongfully put somebody in prison who knows how many others he wrongfully in prison for wanting to do the same thing that he did talk about a high horse
Puig was my favorite player when I first started getting really into baseball. Especially when he made Bumgarner whine and cry like a little baby. I hope he'll get another chance with another team
As a Dodger fan, I do miss Puig. I was at game 4 of the 2018 World Series against Boston when he hit that home run and man… that moment was amazing to witness in person. Still have the video on my phone 😁
10:37 "4th time getting caught" (besides the other 4 times he got caught) the 5th time would be bad... THE OTHER OVER HALF DOZEN WAS JUST FINE, BUT NOT AGAIN... LMFFFAAAOOO 🤣🤦♂️
I don't think puig was in the wrong he's just from Cuba a place where baseball players aren't nearly as paid and the games aren't as serious, so he just took it more lightly and tried to have fun he was definelty a great talent and I think a great guy he played with those kids and stuff he has a heart he just doing take baseball as serious as other major league guys
I remember seeing Baseball Doesn't Exist's video on Trevor Bauer being controversial, to now. Damn, this channel has grown and I've loved seeing its progress. Keep up the AMAZING work BDE, it makes my evening to watch your content.
I love puig I’ve been a huge fan of his since his rookie season and I remember in the playoffs when he was up the entire dodger stadium would chant PUIG PUIG PUIG and immediately he would hit a home run and the stadium would rumble. He creates such a great atmosphere for the fans and I truly wish to see him play again.
Seems it doesn’t matter if you did or did not do something you were accused of, if you even get accused, even if found innocent or no criminal Charged see filed…your career is over.
@@dannycass7931 seeing as how they won a World Series last year it’s like what’s the point on resigning a guy who has so much drama associated with him
To me he is a legendary of the Dodgers, I remember sitting right field side he hit a go ahead home run against the Rockies and every time he went to his position you chant his name he'll wave to crowd, it must have been a special time to be in America for him coming from Cuba.
Baseball is full of sensitive, toxic, and jealous people… the refs are power hungry, the players get butt hurt for the smallest things, the coaches and staff spread rumors and gossip, the reporters only focus on the negative, the owners have lil man syndrome, and finally the worst of them all is MLB brass… the brass constantly implement horrible rules simply because people keep complaining, they fan the fires of drama between the players, and I personally think they are trying to destroy baseball. Simply because they try their hardest to make baseball soooo complicated and long that no one wants to watch.
This was absolutely fantastic. This content was way better than most stuff on major television networks. Your narration was excellent as well! Great editing and the story was delivered with perfect pace and somehow the music didn't even enjoy me even though it was repetitive it all worked just right. Subscribed!
All of MLB needs to watch this. Yes Puig was cocky and immature in his first couple years but he became better and did soo much for the communities. He deserves a second shot at the majors
as someone who lost touch with baseball back around the start of puig's career I've wondered over the last few months what's happened to him. thanks for doing this video.
I remember when Kenta Maeda joined the Dodgers Puig was already there and I knew he was wild man. But I saw him congratulate Maeda’s first start with huge smile and a hug. That act might be from sympathy he felt that both came from overseas. But he seemed to be such a nice guy. So I think at least he has pure sensitive heart in him
A recommendation I have is to show more highlights while you talk and just some normal plays he made instead of same clips for 2-4 times other than that You’re perfect❤️
I went to his debut game and had no idea who he was didn't even know he was debuting and I just felt like I witnessed something special he is too good not to be in the MLB
How many stars were forcefully taken out from baseball just because unwritten rules especially "don't have flairs or you'll be hated", this is why baseball will never be THE sport.
As a Reds fan I gotta say he is one of my favorite players ever, there wasn't another player on the reds that had the balls that guy did, just fighting when fighting was needed
Dude was jailed, banned from baseball in his own country, risk his life to get to America, only to get kidnapped and auction off like a slave and then finally making it into the U.S. after all he's been through, that chip on his shoulders, he gets a pass.
baseball is my third favorite sport behind basketball and football but like you put out documentary level quality shit about baseball that I just can’t not watch I’m addicted
Wow when you start talking about Islas mujeres in Mexico you used some images of my city called Hermosillo Sonora. Very far away from isla mujeres but was cool to see my city there haha
If I wanted to see cartwheels, I'd go to the circus. Rhys Hoskins and Austin Riley both surpassed Puig's debut by a considerable margin and their auspicious beginnings lasted a helluva lot longer than a week. Gimmicks get old fast. I like Hoskins and Riley because I like baseball. Puig is fun for people who don't like baseball.

He refused to pay the people who got him his freedom even though they verbally agreed, so now we have to feel bad that people are trying to hurt him even though he agreed to pay them, he showed up over weight none of his teammates his own teammates liked him, he never even attempted to get better by listening to his coaches or I don't know trying to learn how to play defense, dude everything he did was by his own admission. Like he did this to himself. There wasn't mental issues he's an immature baby who got more than he deserved in life he wrongfully put somebody in prison who knows how many others he wrongfully in prison for wanting to do the same thing that he did talk about a high horse
😂😂😂
Yeah s/a on someone in a bathroom makes you a tuff guy I guess…
@@c.w.8459 say it without crying next time 💀
@@c.w.8459u typed a paragraph to cry
Puig was my favorite player when I first started getting really into baseball. Especially when he made Bumgarner whine and cry like a little baby. I hope he'll get another chance with another team
HE IS BACK THE BEST BASEBALL PAGE ON RUclips
Facts and it’s not close

I guess you haven't seen Jomboy!
Thankfully Puig was never in danger because baseball doesn’t exist
The dodgers had Mattingly, Luis Gonzalez, and mark mcgwire as coaches?? How did they not win at least 1 wrld series with them?
Puig hit a homer and my friend caught the ball, then sold it for $1,000 10 mins later to a collector at the game. Crazy, I never knew any of this.
As a Dodger fan, I do miss Puig. I was at game 4 of the 2018 World Series against Boston when he hit that home run and man… that moment was amazing to witness in person. Still have the video on my phone 😁
I remember being so excited when I heard the orioles were considering signing him
Never stop making these videos man, they’re awesome
10:37 "4th time getting caught" (besides the other 4 times he got caught) the 5th time would be bad... THE OTHER OVER HALF DOZEN WAS JUST FINE, BUT NOT AGAIN... LMFFFAAAOOO 🤣🤦♂️
I don't think puig was in the wrong he's just from Cuba a place where baseball players aren't nearly as paid and the games aren't as serious, so he just took it more lightly and tried to have fun he was definelty a great talent and I think a great guy he played with those kids and stuff he has a heart he just doing take baseball as serious as other major league guys
Makes coming up through the minors like a walk in the park. Incredible story.
I remember seeing Baseball Doesn't Exist's video on Trevor Bauer being controversial, to now. Damn, this channel has grown and I've loved seeing its progress. Keep up the AMAZING work BDE, it makes my evening to watch your content.
thanks for being a day 1
You thought he’d be one of the greatest ever the way he started out.
I love puig I’ve been a huge fan of his since his rookie season and I remember in the playoffs when he was up the entire dodger stadium would chant PUIG PUIG PUIG and immediately he would hit a home run and the stadium would rumble. He creates such a great atmosphere for the fans and I truly wish to see him play again.
the teamate who threw his Luggage Into traffic was Zack Grienkie, he says it in another video
I remember him for that one clip where ryu hit him with a bat
*bonk* lol
@Grayson Newsome 🤘
I don't even like Baseball but for some reason watch all your videos
Ya'll should watch some baseball, its so good.
@@FrogOf4Chan Idk I find intrigue with the sport but its way too slow for my liking
@@butterxo3094 I understand that
Beisbol is bae
Can’t like something that doesn’t exist.
The loudest I ever heard a stadium was when Puig hit a homer in a September game in 2014 at Dodger Stadium. It was electric!
Kiddie show compared to Mattingly hitting the homer in the 1995 alcs
@@RobotAdolf I’m sure you troika weren’t even born for either game you mentioned.🙄
Kiddie show* when compared to Bonds breaking the home run record*

Seems it doesn’t matter if you did or did not do something you were accused of, if you even get accused, even if found innocent or no criminal
Charged see filed…your career is over.
bro the video of him pouring beer on the interviewer has got to be one of the funniest shits I even seen lmfao
Puig is so unique and iconic. I want him back
Bring him back to the dodgers
@@anthonyabarca108 yh
@@anthonyabarca108 to do the same crap,is playing in Mexico ans is the same stupid guy doing stupid things.
Dodgers really have no need for him.
@@dannycass7931 seeing as how they won a World Series last year it’s like what’s the point on resigning a guy who has so much drama associated with him
Great cover of Puig, I sure miss him. Always exciting to watch and had amazing raw talent.
To me he is a legendary of the Dodgers, I remember sitting right field side he hit a go ahead home run against the Rockies and every time he went to his position you chant his name he'll wave to crowd, it must have been a special time to be in America for him coming from Cuba.
Baseball is full of sensitive, toxic, and jealous people… the refs are power hungry, the players get butt hurt for the smallest things, the coaches and staff spread rumors and gossip, the reporters only focus on the negative, the owners have lil man syndrome, and finally the worst of them all is MLB brass… the brass constantly implement horrible rules simply because people keep complaining, they fan the fires of drama between the players, and I personally think they are trying to destroy baseball. Simply because they try their hardest to make baseball soooo complicated and long that no one wants to watch.
This was absolutely fantastic. This content was way better than most stuff on major television networks. Your narration was excellent as well! Great editing and the story was delivered with perfect pace and somehow the music didn't even enjoy me even though it was repetitive it all worked just right. Subscribed!
Oh man I really start to miss this videos!
Now Yasiel is playing in Mexico with El Aguila de Veracruz btw. And has been really meh....
All of MLB needs to watch this. Yes Puig was cocky and immature in his first couple years but he became better and did soo much for the communities. He deserves a second shot at the majors
as someone who lost touch with baseball back around the start of puig's career I've wondered over the last few months what's happened to him. thanks for doing this video.
8:35 - "YOU ARE TEARING ME A PART LISA!"
I remember when Kenta Maeda joined the Dodgers
Puig was already there and I knew he was wild man.
But
I saw him congratulate Maeda’s first start with huge smile and a hug.
That act might be from sympathy he felt that both came from overseas.
But he seemed to be such a nice guy.
So I think at least he has pure sensitive heart in him
I don’t watch baseball at all, but I appreciate yours and other baseball RUclipsrs’ passion for the game. These videos go crazy.
Sheesh, I gotta try and sneak out a star baseball player in my suitcase on my next trip to Cuba! 😝
Off to the gulag with you!
I get why you don’t post often. Your videos always have great research and quality!
And the organization it took to lay this all down 🤕
Puig was like the next Sosa ‘ my Dominican old head said he got blackballed ‘ wow I never new’ My guy was literally a beast
He needed to CHECK HIS EMOTIONS & EGO QUICKLY before all of this happened.
But, he chose not too.
Now, he lost everything.
.
Love the international Prospect videos!
Who doesn’t love baseball doesn’t exist I love the effort keep the grind
A recommendation I have is to show more highlights while you talk and just some normal plays he made instead of same clips for 2-4 times other than that You’re perfect❤️
I’ll never understand how a Cuban could sue another Cuban about things that happened in Cuba, in an American court.
Cant believe kershaw said he wish he’d try harder 🤣 kersh how about YOU try harder
Yasiel Puig is one of the reasons i started watching baseball again. I want him back
I went to his debut game and had no idea who he was didn't even know he was debuting and I just felt like I witnessed something special he is too good not to be in the MLB
As a dodgers fan never was so excited about a prospect as I was for Puig
20:50 “Puig didn’t get along with his teammates” the clip you show is puig and ryu playing around in the dugout lmao they were actually good friends
How many stars were forcefully taken out from baseball just because unwritten rules especially "don't have flairs or you'll be hated", this is why baseball will never be THE sport.
As a Reds fan I gotta say he is one of my favorite players ever, there wasn't another player on the reds that had the balls that guy did, just fighting when fighting was needed
Wrong
P.rose,j.bench and many more.
@@apachedream3080 I assumed that he meant on that current team, when Puig was on it.
23:47 I see he didn't say who's luggage greinke threw because he was planning to make a video about piug, clever
I just finished watching your A-Rod video two minutes ago and now you uploaded again :)
Dude was jailed, banned from baseball in his own country, risk his life to get to America, only to get kidnapped and auction off like a slave and then finally making it into the U.S. after all he's been through, that chip on his shoulders, he gets a pass.
baseball is my third favorite sport behind basketball and football but like you put out documentary level quality shit about baseball that I just can’t not watch I’m addicted
What a fascinating and misunderstood person I can’t believe he went through all of that
I thought I knew Puig but I hadn't heard about 80% of this stuff!
baseball doesn't exist is one of the best baseball channels
he has good football content too
Groenke story is hilarious. Especially after I have interacted with him. 🤣🤣 he's funny as hell
It’s a scarring experience and he doesn’t need to talk about it to anyone.
Love the vids man - such an underrated channel
Legend!
@@BaseballDoesntExist !dnegeL
Love him or hate him if you’re wearing Puig’s colors you know he’s got your back.
Unless he's throwing you outta the way if you try to hold him back 😆
Bumgarner is so soft lol
Yasiel Puig: I'm the most misunderstood player in baseball
Milton Bradley: That's Cute.
Try altuve lol the whole team cheated but not their best hitter noooo he has morals and principles
Wow when you start talking about Islas mujeres in Mexico you used some images of my city called Hermosillo Sonora. Very far away from isla mujeres but was cool to see my city there haha
15:37 I would argue Fernando Valenzuela had a better start to his career
Yes fernando valenzuela won the Cy Young award as a rookie.
If I wanted to see cartwheels, I'd go to the circus. Rhys Hoskins and Austin Riley both surpassed Puig's debut by a considerable margin and their auspicious beginnings lasted a helluva lot longer than a week. Gimmicks get old fast. I like Hoskins and Riley because I like baseball. Puig is fun for people who don't like baseball.
I remember going to a baseball game and watching puig in the outfield. Wow what good times
I love all of your videos you have to share you make my day every single time you post thank you for doing what you do
Thanks for watching doggie !!!!
@@BaseballDoesntExist thanks for making them
Bro, this channel is dope. Went from seeing a video, to seeing several, to subscribing, to binging this channel in the span of a week or so.
