ATLANTA, Ga. (Atlanta News First) - If there was any sign that baseball season is right around the corner, it came during Sunday’s Super Bowl LX halftime show.
Atlanta Braves superstar Ronald Acuña Jr. was among the surprise appearances during Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl LX halftime show, which served as a prominent nod to the artist’s Puerto Rican heritage.
Acuña stood on stage alongside figures from across Latin culture, including Pedro Pascal, Cardi B and Jessica Alba, during a star-studded performance that also featured Lady Gaga and Ricky Martin.
