Yasiel Puig disrespects Diamondbacks legend

There's a big difference between rivalry and respect. Dodgers star Yasiel Puig should learn the distinction.
Consider the following:
During batting practice before Monday's game at Chase Field, sources say Puig was approached by Luis Gonzalez. The former Diamondbacks star introduced himself, and began relating how his family also had roots in Cuba, just like Puig.
Except Puig wouldn't even look up or acknowledge his visitor. And for the record, Gonzalez was speaking Spanish, so nothing was lost in translation.
Gonzalez confirmed the one-sided conversation, but declined to elaborate or comment further.
But it's not all bad.
Dodgers coach Mark McGwire witnessed the awkward meeting, and allegedly jumped Puig pretty good. McGwire pointed out the man he was ignoring merely won a World Series with a hit off Mariano Rivera, and that Gonzalez' number happened to be hanging inside Chase Field.
Say what you want about McGwire. At least he knows the difference between competition and common courtesy.

The diamondbacks aren't an old enough franchise to have a legend.

Puig doesn't respect him because he knows Luis was a major juicer.

He doesnt want to be linked to roids. Smart move. Also, after the brawl i dont think the Dodgers/Diamondbacks are on great terms. Puig should have told him to eat a dick. Why is this news?

Yeah, that would be so badass. He totally should have told the guy trying to be friendly and have a conversation to eat a dick. We need more badasses like that in the world. frick being friendly - that shite is soft.

Why does everyone have to like each other?

That was one of the shittiest hits ever. And Craig Counsell is Mr. Diamondback IMO.

Not liking someone is fine, but there is no reason not to treat people with respect.

would not knowing who he was perhaps make it even more strange that he COMPLETELY ignored a guy making small talk to him?

Thank you

Puig just got off the boat from Cuba. He probably thought Gonzo was just another annoying fan.

If someone you don't know is talking to you, do you completely ignore them and walk away?
