LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. -- If Ronald Acuna Jr. keeps this up, Chipper Jones might not be the only Braves player to be honored in Cooperstown this summer.
While this obviously isn't true, Acuna has already drawn a potential Hall of Fame projection from Ralph Garr, the beloved former Atlanta outfielder who played with Hank Aaron and then spent a few decades serving as a scout within the organization. He has spent this week with the Braves serving as a guest instructor.
"If I put [the 20-year-old] Aaron and Acuna side by side, I think they would do the same thing," Garr said.
