Ahh … Venezuelan baseball, you gotta love it.

Now playing winter league baseball in the South American country, suiting up for Tiburones de La Guaira, Puig is still up to his old tricks. We’re talking about the same aggressive wannabe tough guy acts that saw him ultimately ousted from his superstardom with the Los Angeles Dodgers and eventually into irrelevance while playing for the irrelevant Cincinnati Reds.

During a game Thursday night, a gargantuan bench-clearing brawl erupted on the diamond, with Puig finding himself right in the middle of the action — and he also saw himself eat a few punches.
