The Braves captured the National League East with a remarkable season that was imagined by few. The Atlanta Journal-Constitution asked several players to share their favorite moments from the season. Today, rookie phenom Ronald Acuna talks about his top two moments from the season. 

“My favorite moment of the season so far would be when I got called up to the big leagues. It was a dream come true.”

“If I had to rank a second, it’d just be clinching the playoff berth.”
