Reigning National League MVP Ronald Acuña Jr. was featured in Topps' latest commercial for their release of the 2024 Topps Series One baseball cards. The Atlanta Braves outfielder is coming off the best season of his career in the MLB after becoming the first player in history to record a 40-70 season and winning the NL MVP in the process.
