Entering the season, with the new rules and larger bases in Major League Baseball, all signs pointed to Ronald Acuña Jr. joining the 30-30 club with 30 home runs and 30 stolen bases.

That was just too easy for the Atlanta Braves superstar, so he created his own exclusive statistical club.

With his 30th homer of the season Thursday night, a grand slam, Acuña became the first player in MLB history to hit 30 home runs and steal 60 bases in the same season.

It happened just hours after he got married.

Acuña and Maria Laborde got married in a small ceremony in Los Angeles Thursday morning. His new ring goes alongside his 2021 World Series ring, although he missed that Fall Classic after tearing an ACL earlier that season.

The most stolen bases by a player in a season in which that player also hit 30 home runs had been Barry Bonds' 52 in 1990. Bonds hit 33 that year en route to his first MVP award.

Acuña swiped his 60th and 61st bags of the season Aug. 28 and stole his 62nd of the year Thursday.

The star outfielder accomplished the feat against the Dodgers in Los Angeles in a showdown full of MVP candidates.
