“You don’t walk off the island.”
Yasiel Puig, as is the case with all Cuban prospects, busted down the Big League door with his bat. There’s no denying that. However, in the short glimpse we’ve had of the Cuban bruiser, he’s shown raw tools and a total fearlessness in the field that suggests he’s more than just a slugger. If his game-ending double play laser beam from the wall in right is any indication, he’s got a lot of Web Gems in his future.

Unfortunately, the Y-webbed Wilson YBG is discontinued, but there’s always the chance it turns up on the internet if you keep an eye out. The Wilson 1799 model (used by Carlos Beltran and Melky Cabrera) is the closest alternative.
Sunglasses
