Don't know how we didn't make the connection before, but Yasiel Puig is definitely the Bart Simpson of baseball. Think about it, the two sides of his polarizing career are essentially "why you little!" and "don't have a cow, man."
Even Puig had a laugh at this realization Thursday, when he posted a cartoon of himself on his Instagram in which he was writing on a chalkboard Bart Simpson style: "I will not be a distraction." Puig even used the hashtag #iwillnotbeadistraction.

Perfect, right? In case you were thinking Puig drew this himself, he did not. (Hey, they can't all be artists in their spare time like Andrew McCutchen). It's actually something Fox Sports made before the 2014 season.*
Also on Thursday night: Puig attended the premiere of Kevin Hart's new movie, "The Wedding Ringer," then posted a video of himself playing an arcade motorcycle game.*We're fairly certain he didn't try to jump Springfield Gorge on his skateboard afterward, but you never know.
