5. Yasiel Puig: ManBearPuig

He has at least two fingers we know about, but possibly more. Let me get back to you on that. Either way, what exactly is Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Yasiel Puig. He claims to be Cuban, but is he half-man, half-bear or half-Puig?

Al Gore taught us all about climate change and that ManBearPuig is a threat to America. Puig has changed the baseball landscape since arriving in summer 2013. He’s not for everybody, but No. 66 in Dodgers blue needs to rock ManBearPuig on the back of his LA threads.

We don’t know how much longer the Dodgers are going to put up with Puig’s one-of-a-kind shenanigans. At least he’s not Albert Belle-ing it out there, but we’re getting dangerously close. ManBearPuig is really so we gotta stay woke at all times.

People would 100 percent by ManBearPuig Dodgers jerseys if they were on sale. It would be less overrated than the iconic Dodger Dog. Puig has been shown to hot dog it from time to time in Southern California on the baseball diamond. Just let him go full ManBearPuig by letting him embrace his inner ManBearPuig.
