Dodgers, we go hard: Highlights from an eventful off day
By Josh Tucker
The Dodgers had an off day in New York City on Monday, and the Boys in Blue got down in the Boogie Down.
It all started with Yasiel Puig (doesn’t it always) taking over the MLB FanCave and the streets of New York. In the FanCave, Yasiel met the CaveDwellers, slid down the home run slide, played video games and ping pong and had what the FanCave is calling a dance party. Kids these days.

Puig then took it to the streets:

Puig only knows how to do things one way — the Puig way: Meanwhile, in Brooklyn, Andre Ethier starred in “Point Break Live!” From what we can gather, “Point Break Live!” is a parody of the 1991 Keanu Reeves, Patrick Swayze thriller Point Break. Each performance features a member of the audience playing the part of Keanu Reeves, because…well…Keanu Reeves gets no respect. Have you seen “Speed”? Haters.
Ethier played Reeves’ character, Special Agent Johnny Utah. We promise video is coming, but until then, here are a couple of photos:
No one pulls of a denim jacket over a wet-suit like you, Andre. But wait, there’s more.
Bash Bros. Drew Butera and Dee Gordon educated New York’s youth in the 5 Ds of DodgerBall. Basically, Drew and Dee went Billy Madison and wrecked a bunch of elementary school kids in dodgeball. Butera Rules! Watch: After waxing a few elementary schoolers, Drew lined Dee up, Dee dunked and ended up in space. Or something like that:
However, the most touching moment of the day occurred late night — Donnie Baseball reunited with his mustache:

We can dream. Thanks, Jimmy Fallon. And a special thanks to the MLB FanCave.
Love my boys in blue living it up having a little fun in NYC!!
