Yasiel Puig’s tribute to Vin Scully is absolutely heartbreaking

Yasiel Puigwho became a star during his time with the stars Los Angeles Dodgers, shared a moving tribute to Vin Scully, who passed away this week.

“I worked with legends” Puig shared on social media. “I’m sorry I didn’t have time to make you proud of me again. But I know that you still see me. I still know you with me I will be better and do better just like you all taught me. My three fathers.”

The post included Puig with three icons, Dodgers scout Mike Brito, Dodgers longtime manager Tommy Lasorda and Scully. All three men have recently died.

Yasiel Puig vows to ‘be better and do better’ after Vin Scully’s death.

Puig began his MLB career with the Dodgers from 2013 to 2018 and was considered one of the biggest rising players at the time. His trip from Cuba to America was one for the cinema and the people of Los Angeles were fiercely protective of him. Hamstring problems, among other injuries, hampered his career with the team and his stocks began to fall. He was involved in a brawl on the field and often got into trouble with the law.

March 2021 was Puig accused of sexually assaulting a woman in a Staples Center bathroom during a Los Angeles Lakers game. He denied the allegations, calling them “false and malicious,” but later settled his sexual assault lawsuit.

“Vin is like a father to me” Puig to TMZ. “The same goes for Tommy Lasorda and Mike Brito. We are so sad to miss all these three amazing boys. Sad for myself and for all of baseball, for Los Angeles.
