Yasiel Puig gifted his 'Win for Vin' cleats to none other than Vin Scully
In this, his 67th and final season as the voice of the Dodgers, everyone has their own way of paying homage to Vin Scully. There have been standing ovations. There have been chats with Big Papi. There have even been foul balls.

Alas, the Dodgers did not go on to win for Vin against the D-backs that day. So, to make it up to him, Puig decided to go the extra mile: He gave those special shoes to Scully before Wednesday's 9-3 win over the Giants, as you can see in the video above.
"It was colorfully decorated, his autograph was on the front of it, it had my picture on it," Scully said. "It was awfully nice of them to bring it up and make a presentation." #PuigYourFriend, indeed.
