Yasiel Puig's Top 2014-15 Offseason Moments Documented On Instagram

LOS ANGELES (CBSLA.com) — It was not so long ago that a young prospect was called up to the majors and put on a show at Dodger Stadium to the sound of legendary broadcaster Vin Scully proclaiming, "Viva Cuba! Viva Puig!"

When Matt Kemp was traded to the San Diego Padres during the offseason, there was little doubt about who the new out-of-rotation frontman was in the Dodgers clubhouse. Yasiel Puig has turned heads, exhilarated Dodger fans, and frustrated opposing players since his debut June 3, 2013. Not long after, Puig also discovered the glories and grandeur that awaited him through posting about his lifestyle on social media. In the spirit of the football season's conclusion and the approaching dawn of the 2015 baseball season, we've linked some of the star outfielder's most notable Instagram moments of the 2014-15 offseason.
