Just a week ago, it was uncertain how much Freeman would be able to contribute due to a sprained ankle he suffered on September 26. Despite missing key games in the NLDS and NLCS, Freeman pushed through the injury and is now making history in the World Series.
In Game 4 against the Yankees, Freeman hit his fourth home run in as many games, becoming the first player ever to accomplish this feat in a World Series. His remarkable performance has solidified his position as a frontrunner for the World Series MVP award. Throughout the series, Freeman has showcased his power at the plate, driving in 10 runs and maintaining an impressive batting record.
Dodgers manager Dave Roberts praised Freeman’s contributions, highlighting the impact of his home runs on the team’s morale. Despite the Yankees’ Game 4 victory, the stage is set for an exciting Game 5 showdown between the two teams. Freeman’s resilience and determination to play through his injury have not gone unnoticed, with his stellar performance drawing comparisons to his vintage form with the Atlanta Braves.
As Freeman continues to shine on the baseball field, fans eagerly anticipate his next move in the World Series. With his ankle showing signs of improvement and his batting prowess on full display, Freeman’s legacy in the sport is reaching new heights. As the Dodgers gear up for Game 5, all eyes will be on Freeman as he looks to further solidify his place in baseball history.
