Yasiel Puig and Justin Turner are not very good at playing hide-and-seek
On Monday morning, Day 1 of the Dodgers' community tour leading up to their FanFest on Jan. 28, the team challenged Los Angeles to a city-wide game of hide-and-seek.
The rules were simple: Justin Turner and Yasiel Puig were to hide somewhere in the city while millions of Dodgers fans attempted to find them. The game even had hashtags:
