While most people who do good things -- whether at work, in the community, or at home -- aren't motivated by the recognition those acts will get from others, it is always nice to be appreciated. On the other hand, it also can hurt when one's good deeds receive less recognition than they deserve.
Yasiel Puig already made his mark on Game 1 of the National League Championship Series presented by Camping World when he knocked in the Dodgers' first run of the game on an RBI double. For good measure, he called his shot, flipped his bat and celebrated at second base.
