Ronald Acuna Jr. had a truly special day on Thursday.
By now, everybody around the game is well aware of what the Atlanta Braves star was able to accomplish, as he became the first player in Major League history to hit 30 home runs and steal 60 bases in a single season.
But there was more to it than just a historic accomplishment.
Prior to the game, Acuna actually got married, adding to his truly special day.
On Twitter, MLB insider Bob Nightengale took note of this momentous occasion and everything the four-time All-Star and MVP candidate got to experience on Thursday in Los Angeles.
So, how was your day?

This is certainly a day that Acuna will remember for the rest of his life.
Not only did he achieve a historic feat on the field, creating his own club and becoming the inaugural member of it, but he also experienced another great moment prior to the game, as he tied the knot with his now-wife.
There truly is no better way to draw it up for the four-time All-Star and former Rookie of the Year.
He got to experience two special moments.
Acuna got married before the game, and celebrated that moment in style with his grand slam in the second inning at Dodger Stadium, which officially put him in the 30-60 club.
And with a month to go, Acuna can keep on adding to the list of accomplishments.
It’s easy to see why he is in the mix for MVP honors, and he may be adding some more hardware to his collection this winter.
