On August 31, Braves outfielder Ronald Acuña Jr. married his long-time girlfriend, Maria Laborde, in a private ceremony. To make the day even more special, he delivered a stunning performance on the baseball field, including a grand slam, helping his team secure a victory with impressive stats. Bally Sports South shared the video on Twitter with the caption, "The 2020 NL MVP watching the 2023 NL MVP frontrunner make his grand statement.”
