Ronald Acuna Jr is a history-making machine, with the recently married ace becoming the first member of the 30-60 club.
Acuna Jr helpe3d the Braves to a tight 8-7 win at the Dodger Stadium last night, becoming the first player in MLB history to hit 30 home runs and steal 60 bases.
The second-inning Grand Slam was one for the memory banks, and what makes it more memorable is that he also got married on the same day to girlfriend Maria Laborde. Can you believe hitting an MLB record, and a night in a Honeymoon Suite? Can life get any better for the Venezuelan outfielder.

The 4-time All-Star will next be targeting the 40-40 club, made up of Barry Bonds, Jose Canseco, and Alfonso Soriano.
The sky is the limit for Acuna Jr with an elusive and seemingly improbable (before this season) 30-70 club. The way he is picking up the steals is on par to track down Jacob Elsbury’s 2009 effort.
He could go on to become the one of the greatest names in baseball.
