The legendary LA Dodgers baseball announcer will be retiring at the end of the 2016 baseball season. Scully has been with the team for 67 years, since 1950, and it is the longest any sports broadcaster has been with one professional sports team.
According to Plunkett MLB vice president of standards and on-field operations, Joe Garagiola Jr., told Puig the cleats don’t conform to MLB uniform rules.
Puig has worn other custom designed cleats for U.S. Independence Day and for boxing legend Muhammad Ali, but apparently Scully cleats are a no-go.
According to CBS Sports Puig has some Statue of Liberty cleats in the works he would like to wear when the Dodgers play the Yankees in September. Puig will need to get approval from the league first if he wants to wear them.
