Can we just put this dude into the Hall of Fame now?
Last month, Ronald Acuña Jr. became the founding member of the MLB’s 30-home-run/60-stolen-base club, and went on to found another new club last week when he hit hit the 40/60 milestone.
That’s right, ladies and gentlemen. Acuña has founded yet another club … in other words, my man is out here making yet more history.
The Atlanta Braves superstar stole his 70th base of the season Wednesday night against the Chicago Cubs, taking the bag in the 10th inning to become the first player ever in MLB history to rack up 40 home runs and 70 stolen bases in a single season.
Acuña got on base by tying the game with a single to opposite-field that scored a run in extra innings. Then, on the pitch, he stole the bag, celebrating by pulling second base out of the ground and holding it above his head as Braves fans gave him a standing ovation.

After Acuña’s historical moment, Ozzie Albies then came up to the plate to win the game for Atlanta in walk-off fashion.

Holy cow, there was so much glory in this victory for yours truly.
Not only did Acuña found yet another club en route to winning NL MVP, not only did my Braves get the win to go to 102-56 on the season, but the victory actually helped out my beloved city of Miami — the Marlins are now tied with the Cubs for the third NL wild-card spot. And going back to my Braves, the dub also clinched the best record in the National League, giving us the No. 1 seed in the playoffs.
You talk about a win of glory, my God. (RELATED: Atlanta Braves Reach 100 Wins For Second Consecutive Season)
