It all started in the sixth inning. With one out in the inning and a runner on first base, Yasiel Puig caught a routine fly ball. Immediately after catching the ball, he threw to first base, trying to double up the runner. Eric Aybar, the runner on first base, made it back safely. Still, after the play, Puig was caught wagging his finger at Aybar. (Side note: Did Puig break any unwritten baseball rules? Probably. Do we care? No.)
Then, in the eighth inning, Albert Pujols found himself on first base. When Josh Hamilton lifted a ball to center, Puig caught the ball nonchalantly. Pujols would make him pay by tagging up and taking second base.
The next batter would fly out to Puig, and, when Pujols didn’t tag up on the play, you can see the two players gesturing to each other.
No official word yet if either of the players broke any unwritten baseball rule.
