One should never second-guess the testicular fortitude of one Yasiel Puig. Since coming into Major League Baseball, Puig has lived quite the life. With the Los Angeles Dodgers making a trip to Toronto to take on the Blue Jays, Puig made sure to soak up every opportunity he could get while in the city. That included a nice little stroll atop the CN Tower, a mere 1,168 feet in the air.
Of course, Puig was securely attached to the tower so his risk of falling was as minimal as you can probably get, but I will admit that even if I was as securely attached to the tower as Puig was, it might be a tussle to get me to lean over the edge to hang over and point one finger to the sky as Puig did. In this case, I have absolutely no problem admitting Puig is braver than me. I can live with that.
What I want to know is what skyscraper will Puig embrace his inner thrill-seeking desires next? What is also interesting is Puig’s habit of using his name in the third-person for his tweets. #PuigNotScared was used here, but he has also used #PuigHungry and #PuigNotLate in his tweets…
Maybe Puig is just all about the #PuigBrand, which is perfectly fine. He’s earned it.
