Puig's tongue was on full display in Dodgers' NLDS victory
Yasiel Puig is one interesting dude, and he made sure to add some extra flare to Friday's Game 1 of the National League Division Series between the Los Angeles Dodgers and Arizona Diamondbacks.
That extra flare came courtesy of his tongue.
To begin with, Puig didn't appear to like the taste of his bat after licking it in the first inning:

Then, the 26-year-old Cuban put his tongue on display again after hitting a seventh-inning triple:

When asked what his reaction was all about, Puig brought up his appetite for a tasty treat rather than his hunger for a win.
"I don't know why I did it," he said, according to Bill Plunkett of the Orange-County Register. "Maybe I thought there was ice cream in front of me."
