Braves outfielder Ronald Acuña Jr. was involved in a bizarre incident during Monday’s game against the Rockies when two fans ran onto the outfield at Coors Field and made contact with the 25-year-old, knocking him down when security tried to remove the fans from the field and all parties got tangled up.
Speaking to reporters after the game, via an interpreter, Acuña explained that he believes the two fans had been hoping to get a picture with him.
“I was a little scared at first, but I think the fans were out there and asking for a picture. But security was able to get there and so I think everything’s okay. Everyone’s okay,” said Acuña, via Bennett Durando.
