While Freeman was a pillar in the Braves franchise, he began to share the spotlight with Ronald Acuña Jr. over recent years. Though, Acuña suffered a torn ACL in his right knee during the summer months of the 2021 season, which left him unavailable as the Braves went on an improbable World Series run.
Acuña's MVP Award was built on becoming the first player in MLB history with 30 home runs and 60 stolen bases in one season. The Braves' All-Star initially put his name into the record books with a stolen base and by hitting a grand slam at Dodger Stadium.
Getting to play at the same time as them and getting to watch them play and go about their business like I've been able to, it's just special as a baseball fan being in the same generation as these guys.
