All Yasiel Puig was trying to do was pay tribute to legendary broadcaster Vin Scully.
On Sunday, July 17, Puig wore a pair of custom-made cleats with Scully's face and the words "Win for Vin" on the side.
A week later, Puig told the Orange Country Register on Tuesday that he received a letter from Major League Baseball warning him that he'd be fined $5,000 if he wore the cleats again as they do not comply with the uniform code.
A large portion of the shoes are orange, which is not part of the Dodgers' color scheme.
Guess which @Dodgers player is rocking these AWESOME cleats today. pic.twitter.com/hzkSip9V3o— Cut4 (@Cut4) July 17, 2016
Scully, who is in his 67th year broadcasting Dodgers games, will retire at the end of the 2016 season. His last game is expected to be October 2 in San Francisco.
