NORTH PORT, Fla. — Ronald Acuña Jr. wasn’t expecting things to play out the way they did, but during halftime of the Super Bowl on Sunday, the Braves star outfielder found himself on the field during Bad Bunny’s musical performance.
“They said go down there and have fun, and I loved it,” Acuña said Thursday at CoolToday Park during Braves spring training.
Acuña had been invited to what he called “the Bad Bunny House” ahead of the Super Bowl, played Sunday at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California. It wasn’t until the day of the game that the Braves’ right fielder was told to actually be on the field during Bad Bunny’s performance.
Acuña’s appearance on the field in a crowd of other extras and dancers became a bit of a viral moment. The 28-year-old stood in the background wearing a black tank top and a gold chain.
A five-time All-Star and 2023 National League MVP, Acuña was asked which Bad Bunny song was his favorite and replied, “every one.”
