It was a relatively quiet week, but one of the week's most wholesome moments on social media came through Maria Laborde, the wife of Braves superstar Ronald Acuña Jr., who posted a short video of the couple's youngest son watching a baseball at Truist Park.
In the Instagram Story, their son can be seen perched in the stands, riveted by the on-field action, dressed up in a navy blue 'Slam Dunk District' t-shirt — an adorable nod to his early, developing passion for sports.

Ronald Acuña Jr., who already delivered plenty of big moments on the field in his return from a painful knee injury and the Braves' run toward contention, had another when he streaked around the bases in the 10th inning.
But it was this one — courtesy of Acuña's son — that lit up social media. I also saw the family in the stands enjoying what looked like a lovely afternoon at the ballpark. Fans nearby were excited to see the Acuña family enjoying the game-day vibe in the section.
One of those glimpses was Maria Laborde's post, showing their son watching curiously and excitedly talking during the game. With the pressures and bright lights of the big leagues looming over Acuña as he embarks on his MLB career, the clip gives us a glimpse into family time.

Maria Laborde's heartwarming Truist Park post delights fans
The short video rapidly spread throughout social media, as fans reacted to the sight of the youthful Acuna cheering on the game. Comments ranged from 'He has his father's attention span!' to "Future MVP in the making." The moment instantly went viral, with many praising Maria for sharing such a candid and behind-the-scenes moment that humanizes one of baseball's biggest stars.
While Ronald Acuña Jr. had already built a reputation for having an electric on-field presence, sentiment fell over his family following an emotional moment at Truist Park. It captured the conflict many players try to juggle — being great on the pitch, while enjoying small moments off of it.

I exploited Virat Kohli's weakness. With Sachin Tendulkar, I tried not to…: James Anderson's 'most difficult' choice

Sachin Tendulkar, 9. Virat Kohli, 7. That's the number of times James Anderson has dismissed two of India's greatest in Tests. How many bowlers can you name that have bowled to both Tendulkar and Kohli, let alone dominate them? There's only one. Ander-freaking-son. The former England pacer had multiple battles with Tendulkar and Kohli, of course, during different stages of his career. In fact, more than Tendulkar, his face-offs against Kohli made engaging headlines in the 2010s. 15 Test matches across eight years. That's how much history Kohli and Anderson shared. Recalling his battles against Kohli and Tendulkar, when asked who is the most difficult batter to bowl to, Anderson picked Virat. Everyone remembers Kohli's maiden Test tour of England in 2014 and how Anderson introduced to the world Virat's vulnerability against balls outside off stump. After 134 runs in four Tests, Kohli made a stunning comeback in 2018, plundering 697 runs and keeping Anderson wicketless against him. Anderson had the last laugh in 2021, but it wasn't as one-sided as in 2014. As for Sachin, Anderson played against him when Tendulkar had already reached legendary status, hence the contest wasn't as intense as the one he shared against Kohli.

I really exploited his weakness of outside off-stump, and then the next time I played against him – he had obviously gone back and worked on that – he was totally a different player. He really had taken his game to a different level, made it very difficult for not just me but for bowlers in general. I got him out 4-5 times in the first series and then didn't get him out in the next I played against him," Anderson said on the talkSport podcast.

With Kohli, there was definitely a shift. Found him a very difficult player to bowl at because he had that steely mindset, wanted to get into a battle. He's very competitive and after that initial success, it was very difficult to bowl against." Anderson and Kohli had a go at each other on numerous instances, none more so talked about than what transpired four years ago during the Lord's Test. After Jasprit Bumrah had peppered Anderson with six short-pitched deliveries in an over, and then some, the England pacer responded with a few verbal volleys. So much so that Kohli, while at the non-striker end, told Anderson 'You swearing at me? Just like you did against Jasprit? This isn't your fu**ing backyard." With Tendulkar, things weren't as hot-headed. "Kohli was a slightly different character than Sachin. Sachin was very mild, mannered; very calm at the crease. Virat was more expressive with his emotions. Wore them on his sleeves and you can kind of see it. In his captaincy, when he celebrated his wickets. I tried as much as I could to get that feeling out of the equation and just try to think of him as a batter and not too much about who it was. It was difficult at times; we had many battles on the field," pointed out Anderson. "I definitely had more verbal battles with Virat than with Sachin. With Sachin I tried not to. He was certainly at a different stage in his career when I played against him. He had this sort of God-like presence, and how he was held in India. It was incredible how the fans treated him and looked up to him. But as Virat's career went on, that became more and more like that for him. But at the start of his career, it wasn't quite intimidating.
