"Running right into the record books."
However it was not Acuna Jr. who stole the show, but his kids, who took the spotlight at the postgame presser.
When the kids started making commotion, Acuna Jr. tried to quiet them, but he eventually carried them up to the microphone to say hello. The younger of the two, Jamal, kept attempting to grab the microphone, and Acuna Jr. had to keep shooing his hands away as he listened to the reporters' inquiries.
