Look: Puig licks bat before drawing walk

Finger-licking good.

Yasiel Puig's antics were on display yet again in Game 2 of the NCLS as the gifted outfielder got a good taste of his lumber in his second at-bat Sunday. Luckily for Puig, he didn't get a mouthful of pine tar this time around, and eventually earned a walk.

From bat-flipping on singles and doubles, to hitting towering home runs that only he deems worthy of curtain calls, Puig's provided no shortage of entertainment this October - and the approach has worked for the 26-year-old and his team. He entered the game hitting .467/.579/.933 with a home run and six RBIs thus far in the postseason.
