Speaking of Acuna, I'm hearing a lot of complaints about him stopping the game to celebrate himself in the 10th inning of a tie game against a team - zunk takes things literally Sep 28, 13:11 9
- Was it when he did that record? - Will Hunting Sep 28, 13:29 2

  - Modern analytics have it 2nd all time hitting behind his 1923. -- nm - Will Hunting Sep 28, 13:34
