Yasiel Puig punctuated his laser beam home run with a huge bat flip and celebration

A one-run lead in a Game 7 is about as stressful as it gets. Yasiel Puig removed all that stress with a single swing. With the Dodgers leading the Brewers, 2-1, in the sixth inning of NLCS Game 7 on Saturday, he gave Los Angeles a little more breathing room with a three-run shot over the center-field wall. That meant it was time for a stress-relieving around-the-bases celebration.

Hey, you've gotta leave everything on the field in Game 7 -- and that includes celebrations.
