Watch a Puig Interview Tonight, a Dodger at the Echo Park Community Parade and Adrian Gonzalez to Hand Out Gifts Tomorrow


With the MLB Winter Meetings being rather boring and lackluster for Dodger fans, any news about the Boys in Blue is welcome. 

Fortunately, there is something on television tonight that Spanish speaking Dodger fans will be able to enjoy.  As for non-Spanish speakers, like myself, you might just want to watch it anyway because there isn't any other real news available.

Enrique Aníbal Gutiérrez of Time Warner Cable Deportes sat down with Yasiel Puig for a one-on-one interview, and it will air tonight at 8:30 PM.  Go here to watch a promo video.

As a teaser, they shared the following:
In one of many interesting revelations during their conversation, when Puig was asked about how he felt about other sports, he confessed that, “to play, I like baseball. But, if I want to enjoy myself, I’d much rather play soccer or basketball”.
Apparently, Puig dreams of being Kobe and Ronaldo.

The Echo Park Community Parade is tomorrow and the Dodgers will be represented.  Go here for information on the parade.  From a Dodgers press release:
The Echo Park Community Parade, themed “Neighbors Make Echo Park Beautiful,” begins at 11:00 a.m. tomorrow on Sunset Boulevard from Elysian Park Avenue to Park Avenue in Echo Park.

Dodger General Manager Ned Colletti will be on hand beginning at 9:00 a.m. for Mayor Garcetti and LA Rotary’s Angel City Toy Giveaway at Algin Sutton Recreation Center located at 8800 Hoover Street. This is also the sight of one of the Dodgers’ Dreamfields. Colletti has donated his time for several years to help hand out toys and gifts to children at this holiday event. The Dodgers have donated blankets and other items in the past and this year provided backpacks, T-shirts and hats.
