Yeah, it’s always a balance. You can be a genius, but if you’re a pain in the ass, it wears people out. Sounds like you gave that guy what he needed when he needed it.
I remember the excitement as I was living in L.A. at the time. My girlfriend and I got tickets to a game specifically to get the Puig T-shirt giveaway.
I remember what a dynamo Puig was but had forgotten him until this post. There does seem a strong tension in baseball between star players and the game being a team sport. Even ace pitchers depend on support from the defense.
