Baseball is simply better now that Ronald Acuña Jr. is back, and he hasn’t waited much time to show us why.
One day after Acuña fell down as he hit a 450-foot home run, the Braves star put his own twist on the post-homer celebration. And to Acuña’s surprise, LeBron James took notice.
Acuña hit a no-doubt home run in the fifth inning off Brewers ace Corbin Burnes. And instead of opting for a bat flip, Acuña broke out LeBron’s signature “silencer” celebration before going into his home run trot. Before the game even ended, the replay made its way to LeBron who shared the video and gave Acuña a shoutout.
