Last night, New York Yankees infielder Gleyber Torres was doing some casual celebrating on Instagram following a great win against the Minnesota Twins. Then, out of the blue, another young star appeared with an interesting prediction…
Ronald Acuna Jr. of the Atlanta Braves went out of his way to predict a Yankees-Braves World Series matchup.
First of all, I love this move by Acuna. Baseball’s biggest problem is that the league has no idea how to market its young stars to attract a new audience. One way to fix that? Let the kids play (on social media in this case).
