Yasiel Puig is among those that believe Major League Baseball needs to become more fun, much like reigning National League MVP Bryce Harper.

"Bryce Harper is my idol now. I'm going to join him in the "make baseball fun again" campaign; I'm just waiting to get my shirts and baseball caps," Puig told ESPN The Magazine.

"He's always been a great friend and a great athlete, and I admire him. I like how he plays the game, and I think he gets it. It's good to see an American player saying that there needs to be a little more fun in baseball. Fans leave everything behind to come and see us play. We have to make baseball fun for the fans and not take everything so personal."

Puig, 25, is hitting .243/.294/.396 with three home runs and three stolen bases in 119 plate appearances this season.
