I Mean No Harm, I Swear – Ronald Acuña Jr.

1. The pollo tropical or Chinese buffet part is sad to think about; so happy he’s achieved the success he has and love how much he’s grown

2. I’d run into a burning building for that dude.

3. Enjoyed this article. Love the fact that he’s hungry to win and continue his success. Also his piece about the veterans at the end almost seems like an indirect shot at Freeman to me

4. Anyone else cutting onions? Wasn’t expecting that today.

5. God, I love Ronald Acuña Jr.

6. “We are at home, in our stadium, with our fans, for the last game to close out the World Series. It has to be at our place this time, at Truist. And it has to be with me this time, too. It has to be. I need to be playing, to be a real part of it.

   Stadium is packed. Fans going crazy.

   I can see the final at bat in my head. I can hear the ball hit the bat and then I see the ball flying up into the air. Then it lands in my glove and … history.

   In my dream, from there, it is the best feeling in the entire world. Everyone celebrating that final out. Screaming and yelling and jumping. And then, next thing I know, everyone is on the field. And I mean everyone!

   All the fans stream down to the grass and it is one giant party.

   That’s what I see.”

   Ronald just gave us permission to storm the field if we win the WS at Truist

7. Man, the way he talks about growing up is the same way my papaw talked about growing up, but for Ronnie it was only like 15 yrs ago. Crazy.

8. Oh that hits right in the feels.

   Who couldn’t love him and want the world for him after reading that.

9. Love you forever, Ronnie! Thank you for everything you’ve given, and continue to give to this team!

10. If Big Ron has a million fans, then I am one of them.

    If Big Ron has ten fans, then I am one of them.

    If Big Ron has one fan, then I am that one.

    If Big Ron has no fans, that means I am dead.

11. This is the year he and Spencer take the team and make it theirs. I can feel it.

12. Great article. Loved hearing his perspective on the vets like Charlie and Travis and how they help the team.
