Ronald Acuna, Jr. Confronted By Two Fans On Field 

Post#1 » by RealGM Wiretap » Tue Aug 29, 2023 11:55 am

Ronald Acuna, Jr. was confronted by two fans in right field during Monday\'s game at Coors Field, an encounter that left him on the ground.

In the seventh inning of the game between the Atlanta Braves and Colorado Rockies, an individual ran onto the field to take a selfie with Acuna, putting his arm around the player before security personnel arrived.

While security worked to pry the individual off Acuna, another individual ran onto the field and rushed toward Acuna, appearing to make contact with him and knocking him to the ground.

Acuna sat on the grass as security dealt with the individuals.

He did not appear to be injured because of the incident, smiling afterward and flashing a thumbs-up sign.

\"I was a little scared at first,\" Acuna said through an interpreter. \"I think the fans were out there and asking for pictures. I really couldn\'t say anything because at that point, security was already there and we were already kind of tangled up, but security was able to get there and everything\'s OK. We\'re all OK, and I hope they\'re OK.\"
