What got the audience more hooked to the match was Acu?a doing the LeBron James celebration.
Ronald Acu?a Jr. led the Braves to a win
Acu?a made his debut in Major League Baseball in 2018 with the Atlanta Braves as an outfielder in the year 2018. In the same year, he won the National League Rookie of the year award. Since then, the 24-year-old player has continued to spread his wings and make a name for himself.

Yesterday night, the first pitch of Braves v/s Marlins was thrown and was hit in the stands by none other than Acu?a. With the first pitch only, Acu?a gave the Braves a lead of 1-0. Not only this, he celebrated the first homer of the match by doing the LeBron James celebration.?

While rounding third, Acu?a stopped, stomped, and beat his chest just like James does.
He might have given the team a lead. But was also removed in the seventh inning as a precaution, considering he had sore knees. He is not put on the injured list.
And his homer not only gave the team a lead but, a win as well. The Braves won by 2-6 coming at 69-46.
Fans also reacted at Acu?a doing the LeBron James celebration
LeBron James is a professional basketball player for the Los Angeles Lakers of the NBA. He also has a nickname, “King James.” Having won three NBA championships, and four NBA MVP awards, it is natural to have fans react the way they did on Acu?a doing the James celebration.
Just noticed that Ronald Acuña Jr. did the LeBron James celebration when he hit the homer and when rounding third, he stopped and did the Euro step.#Braves lead 1-0 over the #Marlins

A man became a fan of Acuna just because he does the LeBron James Celebration.
This is why I became a true fan of his recently. As A Dodger fan can’t stand him but he’s so energetic. The fact he uses LeBron’s silencer sealed my fate being a fan. Awesome player
