Ex-Dodgers star Yasiel Puig was involved in a huge brawl on Wednesday night, as video footage from a baseball game in Venezuela shows.
Puig, 33, played six seasons in LA, earning an All-Star nod in 2014 and last appeared in the MLB in 2019 for Cleveland.
The slugger currently plays for Tiburones de La Guaira of the Venezuelan Professional Baseball League, and things got extremely violent on Wednesday when he threw several punches.
It’s not clear why the massive fight started, but things turned ugly when the benches cleared and a large group of players collided with each other, landing on a net behind home plate.
Puig waved at several opponents, but was also caught with an opponent’s hand covering his face.
