Not all homers are created equally. Some, let’s face it, are just prettier than others. And some, let’s be real, are more special than others.
Ronald Acuña Jr., the Atlanta Braves youngster who is the No. 1 prospect in MLB and made his big-league debut this week, managed both in his first ever big-league homer. He mashed it in the second inning Thursday against the Cincinnati Reds. It’s special — because the first one always is, but boy, was it a thing of beauty.
Yep, that there is what you want your first homer to look like.
