— -- LOS ANGELES -- Dodgers outfielder Yasiel Puig apologized publicly for his most recent reckless driving arrest.

On stage at the team's FanFest on Saturday, Puig was asked by host Alanna Rizzo what he wanted to say to the fans about his recent run-in with a Florida state trooper. Puig, laughing, at first replied, "Nada," the Spanish word for "nothing."

The Dodgers had urged Puig to make a public apology. He has been front and center in the team's community relations work this winter. He and many of his teammates spent time Friday afternoon at Homeboy Industries, which helps former convicts and gang members return to the mainstream with job training and tattoo removal.
