Dressed in Pink

Dressed in Pink? Barbie? A tacky cottage in Oak Bluffs, Massachusetts? Or maybe you have seen Margot Robbie on the giant screen elegantly dressed in a pink dress? But would you expect to see Ronald Acuña, Jr., outfielder for the Atlanta Braves who just made history by recording 20 or more home runs, 40 or more stolen bases, and 50 or more runs batted in prior to the mid-season All-Star break?

Acuña, 25, entered July 4th 2023 hitting .336/.415/604 (170 OPS+) with 21 home runs, 54 runs batted in, and 39 stolen bases on 46 attempts.

“Acuña the player is dynamic and fun to watch. Acuña the person is dynamic and fun to watch, constantly cracking jokes with Albies and Braves shortstop Orlando Arcia — or dazzling on the red carpet with a miniature bedazzled chain of himself.” –Brittany Ghirolli, senior writer for The Atlantic

But anyone who follows Acuña’s flamboyant style of play wouldn’t be surprised to see how he entered the Red Carpet at the All-Star pre-game on Tuesday, July 11, 2023.

Kudos to Acuña for dispelling the notion that the color pink is only for "little" girls and Barbie.

Go Braves!
