So you say Puig is the most hated baseball player but where are your facts?
I wonder if Donald Trump helped with the list. I would think that Bryce Harper, a player in need of anger management is on this so called list. Then maybe the steroid using MVP Ryan Braun’s name may pop up. Then maybe the others that altered the historical statistics are hated like Puig is. I betcha Puig is not hated among the older players like Mays, Aaron, Schmidt, Robinson and the likes as the steroiders are. Baseball has always had this stupid way that everyone is supposed to play. Well everyone that plays wasn’t born here. Clemente was mocked for his language and his style of play. But guess what, nearly all outfielder one hand the ball now. As great as he was, it took martyrdom for him to achieve his rightful place in history. Puig should feel proud to be hated, knowing where it comes from.
