During Sunday's NLDS game between the Los Angeles Dodgers and the Atlanta Braves, Max Muncy hit a crucial home run in the ninth inning with two outs. Despite this effort, the Dodgers lost 3-2 to the Braves, tying the series at 1-1 as it heads to Atlanta. Muncy's wife, Kellie, is known for her support during games and made an Instagram post wearing a Max Muncy bobblehead t-shirt right before his homer, suggesting she might have some influence on his performance.
