Ronald AcuΓ±a Jr. is closing in on 200 career home runs. He already has exceeded 200 stolen bases.

When he achieves 200-200 status, he will be the third Venezuelan-born player ever to join the club.

You might have heard of the other two.

Everybody knows Francisco Lindor is great. What we don't fully appreciate is his historic status

He enters the season with 279 career HR, including 271 while in the lineup at shortstop

When he clears 300, he will be the third player EVER to accomplish that

HR as SS πŸ‘‡
