Los Angeles Dodgers rookie Yasiel Puig hit a walk-off home run in the bottom of the 11th to score the only run of the game in a 1-0 victory over the Cincinnati Reds.
Puig completed his home run trot by sliding into home plate, and some former players didn't like it.
Puig slid into home after a walk off homer. A good talent. But he is making a mockery of baseball. Please stop.

So, is Puig making a mockery of baseball, or is he just having fun? You make the call.
